So we get to break free of here, good thing cause Arianna does not want to be in her crib. All her test came back negative and the docs are comfortable sending her home with Matt and I to take care of her, we do a great job they say. We just have to continue with antibiotics for a few more days, nothing I haven't already done.
So thanks for the prayers and good vibes, they really do help.
Love to you all

In The Hospital
I don't really get it, but Arianna has done this two years in a row. The day after thanksgiving she gets a fever and has respitory problems and we end up in the ER. So here's what happened today. She woke up with a cough and some extra junk in her lungs, and a fever of 100.0. I make an appt to see her doc and about two hours before it I notice her her finger nails are purple, not good. I upped her oxygen to 1 ltr and suctioned her out, and there was no change. I called her doc and said I guess we'll cancel cause we're heading up to PCMC.
We spent 5 hours in the ED and the best they can guess is that we have some virus. They drew blood for cultures and did a VRP, but that stuff takes at least 48 hours to come back. While in the ED her fever spikes to 103., and we just can't kick it. We are now in a room, surrounded by kids that can tell the nurses what they need, and they are needy. It took us an hour to get more Tylenol and some food, she hadn't eaten since 1:00, she was hungry. She is now being cuddled by her daddy and sleeping. I hope that we can figure this out and go home fast. Please pray for her , she needs it.
I am a bit scared, in the last month two of our T13 friends have been called home to their Heavenly Father, I just don't want it to be her time yet, I'm having too much fun watching her grow and being her mommy. I will keep my spirits up while I am around her, and just love her to wellness and back home.
Kenna is enjoying tonight, she gets to have a sleep over at my brothers house with his kids!!!
Keep us all in your prayers and I will keep you all updated.

under construction
So I decided to change our layout. I was tryng to post new pics too, but the server was having problems, so I will try again later. I also updated my blog list, some new friends and old ones too, check them out. There are some cute pics of Arianna and her BFF on Jaxson's blog. I tried to post them here but...
Update-
We are still house hunting and hoping someone will buy our house, no point in getting my heart set on a new house until this one sells. I have this feeling that someone will put in an offer once we get all our Christmas stuff up, then we'll have to pack up and move. I really won't mind. We have been healthy for the most part, Kenna did wake up with a cough and sore throat. I am hopeful it passes quickly and Arianna does not get it. We are waiting for the docs to get everything together so that we can only sedate Ari once, ENT will do Botox and ABR hearing test. Eyes to fix her tear ducts, they are too small on one side and not there on the other. And Cardio is going to do and ECHO. I hope they get it together soon, I don't want to spend the holidays at the hospital.
We are still fighting to get the insurance to pay for her VEST, they do not believe it will benefit her, she doesn't have Cystic Fibrosis and that is all they will cover for. We have been using it for a month now and she has shown much improvement in her lungs, her chest X-rays are clearing and she moves the junk out much better now when she coughs. Pray that the corporate bigshots pull their collective heads out.
So that is it in a nut shell. Have a Happy Turkey Day!!!!

Girls Night
I finally got a night out. My sis and I went to see Mama Mia, I loved the Broadway version, so it was only fitting that I see the movie. Yes I know that it has been out for months, but it has taken me this long to get time off. I loved singing along with the movie, my parents were big fans of ABBA when I was growing up, so yes I know ALL the songs. We also went for Thai food. They had the best Mango and Sticky rice I have ever tasted. It was made with purple rice, I have never had it with purple rice before, this was the only place I have been that makes it that way.
I feel so much better and maybe I can be a better mom to the girls. I have been a bit of a grump lately. Monthly girls night is a must.
