VERY sick........

My dad and I took Elle to emergency on Friday due to her struggling to breath. She was kinda boarder line in regards to admitting but eventually they thought she would be better off staying. Turns out they were right. She has been struggling to breath ever since. She is very uncomfortable and there is not alot of air movement going on in her left lung. (almost sounds collapsed) She has had many Ventolin masks but that is not doing much for her. They are giving her another type of mask that seem to be abit better. Her platelets are low (54 then went up to 69) so they are unable to do chest physio as there is a worry about bleeding so they have been using a vibrator. She is getting IV antibiotics and got some extra fluid as she is becoming more and more weak. The weaker she gets the harder it is for her to get the junk out of those lungs.....Hope that today she is a bit stronger so we can break free of that place.....

Paul is sick also and I also have a cold too....Kaden....well we are worried that he is next on the list as his heart rate has been 170 awake and he seems not quite right......I can only hope that he doesn't get it too bad....Not sure where this came from but wish it would go away. I guess Elle is starting her Spring Break early....

Hopefully, Elle will be better soon. Our thoughts and prayers are with you guys too. It's always so sad to hear when one of the kids gets sick. I find it so convenient to keep abreast of your little family through your blog.
