Day 8

I wish I had better news. Hailey's infection numbers continue to go up. They would like to find a pocket of fluid to get a sample so they could tailor the antibiotics to the bug. They did find one pocket of fluid near her heart but they are trying to decide whether it is worth the risk to get some. 

Her belly continues to swell compressing her lungs even more. The doctors are doing all they can and they don't really have any answers. 

I feel physically sick at the prospect of losing her. I don't know what to do but pray with all my heart. I don't know why things happen the way they do.  All I know is that I love her and that I love Heavenly Father and He loves us. It is the hardest thing I have ever had to do to just place my trust in Him, but He really is the only one that can help her. Love you all so much! 

Thanks for praying for her.

Home Sweet Home!!!

We made it! I feel so happy to be home! I have loved the nice weather in California so I wondered if I would feel happy when I saw the snow, but at the first glimpse of the snowy mountains flying into Utah I wanted to cry for joy!   It was, of course, an adventure getting home, but I decided to pack my sense of humor from the get-go and it turned out great thanks, again, to many angels!  I checked out of the hospital with Hailey on Thursday around 4:30pm. It was so strange to get to take her with me. I made a little sign for her car seat to travel with so we could try to stay healthy on the trip :-) By the time I had packed and cleaned and figured out how to give Hailey her new medicines (she has 10 now that we give 8 times a day between various dosing schedules) I had about 40 minutes to sleep before my 3:20am shuttle pickup.  I started wheeling my bags and Hailey and the oxygen downstairs. I took turns alternately pushing Hailey's stroller and the oxygen and the suitcas...
