The past few days have been quite the adventure! Wednesday Lilly began running a fever, we gave her Tylenol and waited to see if it went away. Thursday morning her temp was still over 102 so off to the pediatricians office.
The doctor could not put her finger on what exactly was wrong with Lilly, she said it was viral and told me to keep a close eye on her and if she got worse she needed to be seen again. So we headed home, when we got home things went from bad to worse. Lilly refused to eat and after a short nap she woke up and could not breath - she just kept gasping for air. We then met Pinckney at Children's hospital. All day John had been sneezing but I was told it was just a reflex and not to be worried. The Doctor that tended to Lilly told Pick that if he runs fever above 100.3 her needs to be seen immediately.
By Friday night he was running fever of 100.9 and was having trouble breathing. He and I headed to the emergency room where we were put in isolation and every test you can or can't imagine was run on him. Around 2:30 am they admitted him to the hospital and his congestion was worse, his temp was up and he was refusing to eat.
I was told that best case scenario we would be able to leave in 48 hours, but there was a strong possibility he was going to get worse before he got better.
He immediately started IV antibiotics which worked like a charm! by that afternoon his temp was down and that night he really began eating again. The doctors came in on Sunday and felt so good about his progression we were able to go home Sunday night.
We were giving Lilly whatever she wanted just to get her to eat something. This was pretty much goldfish and cheerios everything else she would spit out or scream.
Saturday morning her Gran came to take care of her so Pick could join us at the hospital, and Saturday night Mi Mi got here to stay and help. And Lilly began eating again...THANK GOD! haha
Both kids are still battling runny noses and coughs but fevers are down and we are eating again so the worst is hopefully behind us. :)

So glad you are all home and on the mend!
Hate to hear that you are already battling illnesses, but I am so glad to see that you all are feeling better! I know that had to be scary with little John. The kids are just precious. John looks more than a few weeks old! Happy New Year!
So glad everyone's doing much better! Hope you guys get some rest. We've been thinking about y'all and sending prayers your way!
