Tuesday Morning

I just talked to Mila and Paige had a better night last night. They were even able to move one of her oxygen levels down. Please keep the prayers coming!! Depending on the weather in Little Rock they hope the Children's Hospital airplane will be able to make it out today.

Update...

Paige is headed to Children's Hospital in Little Rock. They are waiting for the snow to let up (in Little Rock) so the plane can get here. She will be flying in an airplane (not helicopter). She will have to go without mom and dad, since there isn't much room. Please pray for all to travel safely to LR! Thanks, Keri

Continued prayers please

From Mila:
Please continue to pray for Paige!! About 1:00 this morning the dr was called and she was very unstable. She was moved to ICU and put on cpap machine for breathing. It has been very scary so please lift her up in prayer!

I (Christy) visited with Mila this morning. They were working on putting a port in when I was there. They are very pleased with the ICU nurses and know that the cpap machine will help her.
Please pray for their family. I know Parker and Presley miss being with their parents all day.

I will post more when I hear.

Please Pray!

This is Mila's friend Christy and I am temporarily helping her with her blog.

Baby Paige, who was born January 7th, is in the hospital with difficulty breathing. She was admitted last Thursday after being under physicians care since Monday. They are still working to get this under control.

Please pray for baby Paige, Dean, Mila, Parker, and Presley.
God is good!

So this is what I typed up the night before her one month then everything got worse

Ah, our baby girl is one month old today. The poor baby had to spend her one month birthday in the hospital. As many of you know, Paige was admitted on Wednesday for RSV. After 4 days of trying to nurse her back to health at home and daily visits to see Dr. Brent (whom we are very grateful for the wonderful care), she had become so dehydrated from not being able to hold anything down and running fever, so we had no choice but to be hospitalized. By Wednesday night she was pretty lethargic and was so dehydrated the nurses couldn't even suction anything out of her. Her breathing was becoming very difficult and her pulse/ox had dropped to 86 so she had to be on oxygen. The first 24 hours she never really woke up. Once the fluids from the IV had a chance to get through her she became a little more responsive, but it was not fun because Respiratory began pretty rigorous breathing treatments and suctioning her by placing a long tube down her nose into her lungs which made her coughing horrible which led to more vomiting. I know all this was good since it was helping get the mucus out and help open up her airways, but it is so terrible to see your baby that miserable. We have been so blessed with to have wonderful nurses and respiratory therapists taking such great care of her. Nurse Ben has been amazing! I think he and Paige have formed quiet the little bond. We are on day 4 of being here now and the Dr just told us to get comfy because we aren't going home anytime soon, so please pray we get to go home soon. It is getting really, really hard being away from my other 2 babies at home. We missed Parker's first sleepover, which killed me. He has had a friend staying with him at the house. Thank you Malorie for taking such great care of him!! Presley has been in great hands with Pa & Nana and loving all the attention just being on her. I don't know what we would do without all you guys and can't begin to thank you enough!! We Love You
