Our Poor Baby :-(

Well we had our first hospital experience with Jael and it was NO FUN! While on vacation in Iowa Jael started a double ear infection and got the aedno virus. That Friday night she spiked a fever of 104.6 so we took her to the ER. They ran TONS of tests and with no resolve sent us home with a follow-up appointment in the morning with a pediatrician. The next morning the ped. said she had a double ear infection. Two nights later we were back in the hospital because she was getting dehydrated and they put her on an IV. It was then that we found out the tests from Friday night showed she had the Aedno virus. It was not fun for anyone but fortunately we were surrounded by Luke's family! They were an ENORMOUS help as were all the prayers of my family and friends.
We made it through. Jael seems to be doing really well. She JUST finished the antibiotics for her ear infections and I plan to schedule an appointment with our pediatrician to be sure her ears are clear. She has been such a trooper through the entire experience! We love our little peanut!
