What a way to bring in the new year....

The yuckies have striked again. :(

New Years eve I started feeling like I was getting the head cold again. By morning both me and Arianna sounded congested but not too bad. Then as the day progressed she started coughing.

So much for staying home being isolated if we are still getting sick. :(

I decided to pull out the pulse ox machine, which is finally a nice smaller version instead of the huge thing I used to have, and she was satting in the mid-to-low 90's. So out came the Albuterol inhaler. Then out of no where she started throwing up, and throwing up, and throwing up. Poor baby. She feel fast asleep after that.

I decided to monitor her for a few hours when she feel asleep and she was satting at around 90 with only one dip into the 80's...so no O2 last night. :)

She did fine all morning but the cough is still there. I noticed a bluish tint to her face after a little crying episode, which is normal for most kids, but you know with a heart kid it makes you wonder. So I checked her sats and she was at 88% so out came the Albuterol again. She has pretty much been satting in the low 90's all day despite the albuterol treatments.

I'm just happy she is still playing like normal. Oh and this girl has an appetite on her today. I think she gained a pound today alone. :)

I just put her to sleep and her sats were 87% so out came the oxygen. I'm amazed she didn't even wake up when I put the cannula on, which she normally wakes up and FREAKS out.

So I'll be monitor watching all night...yipee (notice the sarcasm).

Oh yeah...we took her to the park yesterday and had a little picnic with Grams! It was SO much fun. Here are some pictures from yesterday.

Ready to play ball...

The leaves were falling off the trees as she played...

After our picnic and playing with the leaves we went for a walk around the park. We saw alot of kids out playing soccer and of course we stopped to watch them. Arianna loves watching kids play. I have to admit I was really sad watching them. It breaks my heart to think Arianna may not get the chance to play those types of sports. I know the docs can't tell me what her limitations will be but, if any, but it still breaks my heart that we have to even think about that kind of stuff. I hate to get her involved in a sport for a few years just to be told she maybe have to quit when she's older. I don't know, I guess I've been dealing with some emotional issues lately concerning the health of my daughter. But....I have to remember I have the Lord on our side and He will get us through anything.

After the park we went back to my parents house where Ari got to jam out with her Grams and Bepa. Man this kid sure loves music. She already has a guitar, keyboard, harmonica, and saxophone.

And this one's for you Sarah. She is finally coming around to the Wubbzy doll. :)
