This is the second time I've had pictures to share but couldn't quite bring myself to post them until we were through the woods. The first was when Audrey at 18months old broke her nose. If I had any idea how to link you to that post in August of 2012 I would!
The second happened the weekend before Christmas when at the tender age of 6 weeks our little Emme was hospitalized. Isaac and Audrey generously gave her RSV for Christmas. :( In kids of their age its just a little cold virus. In babies of Em's age, its very serious. I consider myself a pretty strong gal. And Jeff is certainly usually pretty ex-emotion when it comes to health related stuff around here. But this one rocked us. Both of us. There's just something about your tiny little baby in that big hospital crib with that big IV and all those monitors beeping that gets you to your core. Probably didn't help that it was days before her very first Christmas and we went from the extra "high" of the season to such a dramatic low. Thank God she held her own through it and we got to bring her home in time for Christmas. She remained sick for another week or so, but she's back now. Smiling and giggling and cooing up a storm - thankfully with no memories of the ordeal to carry. We'll save those for mommy and daddy who will never, ever forget.
