We were suspecting as much, but we got the official word thus morning that Taylor did indeed catch the H1N1 flu strain. Our weekend getaway at Camp Children’s has been extended for “a couple more days at least.”
The good news is we are past the worst part of it. The nurses are steadily reducing the levels of supplemental oxygen she needs throughout the day. Each morning so far has been a step back, which the nurses say is pretty normal.
While we sit here watching Spongebob and iCarly and other kids shows until our eyes explode, enjoy a couple new pictures: balloons from Grandma and Grandpa, and our EXCLUSIVE shot of the swine flu virus attacking Taylor.
Hope Taylor continues to improve. We love her.
Hey guys – cute pictures of Taylor! You show that virus who’s boss, hon.
Hope you grownups are holding up OK. In my limited experience with little kids in the hospital (three days when William was 3), there’s not much attempt to make it not totally stink for the parents.
Luckily, the regenerative ability most parents possess to regrow eyeballs exploded while enduring children’s show marathons over the course of hospital stays is well documented.
It’s good to see that you are keeping your sense of humor during what has no doubt been a stressful and scary time. Please give Taylor all our love and best wishes for a speedy recovery!
I’m praying for Girly, Elizabeth and Bryan! 🙂
Oh and cute stuffed pig! I’m a sucker for ’em.
Sorry to hear that she caught the ugly bug; we were talking about this the other day if you will remember! I told you to be cautious of the cough. Glad she is doing better! Being at CHS all weekend probably feels like being at work and you will be ready for an off day when she gets better! I will sneak over to see you tomorrow! Keeping Taylor in our thoughts and prayers.
We hope you feel better soon Taylor. We love you and just tell that piggy flu to take a hike. Peace and Blessings.
