Katelyn is 1 -Jan 22 2007
Our little niece/cousin turned 1 on January 22nd. She's just so cute. She looks just like mommy and daddy. The doctor said that she says alot of words for a one year old. I would have to agree. She is also very tall. Well her daddy is 6'2. So we'll see :)
Kathryn was hospitalized Jan 28 -Jan 30 2007
I just wanted to let everyone know that Kathryn was in the hospital briefly with viral pneumonia (spelling?). It was not somethign I wish to go through again. It all started Saturday when we brought her to Urgent Care and they gave her antibiotics for a double ear infection. We noticed her breathing weird on Friday night but it went away Saturday morn and reappered on Saturday night. Then Sunday she was breathing pretty rapidly and using her stomach muscles to help her breathe. I called Urgent Care and they said that she needed more time on the antibiotic. Well anyways we ended up in the ER at Woodwinds on Sunday evening. She had a chest X-ray done and they found the pneumonia and Bronchulitis ( spelling?) which is mucous that plugged up her left lung. She wasn't getting enough oxygen to the left side and the lung had started to fold over because of it. We then got a nice ambulance ride to Children's and she had been on Oxygen till yesterday. Her oxygen had to be above 90 % while she was sleeping anfd it wasn't. We started out at only 88% while she was awake and she needed to be at 98%. So to make a long story short, we're home along with some meds and a nebulizer. I'm glad we took her in when we did.
