Some health updates. Abby and Joey 2-21-12

Well Abby and Joey came home from the hospital together. Had a few good healthy days. On Monday (Presidents Day off no school) Babcia took Maddie, Stevie and Lily Bowling. Then we went to the park to feed the ducks and geese. Then we went shopping. The dollar store always works best for a few items that they NEED. Went back to the house and got ready and went swimming at the association pool. Water was not as warm as usual, but kids jump in all the time. Dinner was at the house. By the time Dziadzia came over, Abby was not feeling to frisky all day long. Karen was worried about Abby, as was I. Then of course the cold sniffles caught up to them both.
Tuesday morning Karen took both of the little ones to the doctors office.
Doctor said that Karen needs to go straight to the ER with Abby. They will see her there. Stef came in to be with them all. Of course after being in there for quiet awhile, they told Karen that Abby will need a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit able to take care of her. This hospital was not really able to give the care Abby needed. They told her she has a touch of pneumonia. Soooooo Karen and Abby were transferred to Loyola Hospital via an ambulance. Steve followed with the van and Joey.

Meanwhile Karen's mom took Maddie Stevie and Lily to school. Picked them up after the day was thru and went back to her house. Steve drove Joey to spend the night with the other children at Grandma Dee's house. Steve and Karen spend the night in the hospital Loyola with Abby.

Today it is Wednesday, Abby seems to be doing better, but not out of the woods yet. Doctors feel it will be better to spend some more time being watched over in N ICU and so Abby and Karen will spend another night. Steve went home and maybe will take MSL to school on Thursday morning?? Don't know the plans that far YET...
As for this Babcia she has the sniffles and really did not want to "SEE" the kids or to give them what she has, a case of the sniffles also a cough that will not stop. Saw doctor myself today and got some cough RX. That's it nothing else, no fever, no strep for now.....
