Last year we spent 92 days in the NICU with our baby, living in the Ronald house next to the hospital. We did spend a few nights in the hospital with Lua, and stayed there late into the evenings/early mornings and OH how I long for those days back!!! But Friday, we had a great reminder of those days.... We ended up taking our 3 year old into the doctor. She has had this cold for a few days with a temp off and on and friday I noticed she was breathing fast and with her belly, which is how Lua would breathe, so I knew it wasnt good! Anyway she ended up having such a low O2 stats that the doctor felt we should keep her overnight to keep watch on her. Typically our 3 year old goes to a different town for her doctor, but that is about an hour and 15 mins away and I didnt know how serious her condition was going to end up being. But thankfully, because of Lua, we were able to see Lua's old doctor to get her in as quick as possible and not have to go through the trouble of going to the ER. So thank Lua! We only had to stay the night, not eve 24 hours, and May cried and cried and cried!!! until she finally got settled and then it was the most uncomfortable sleep ever!! I also started getting sick friday morning, it was just a mess! If Lua saw us, she would be shaking her head thinking, I was in a hospital for 3 months and you guys can't make it 24 hours! She was a strong little girl and proving that all the time.
So I have come to the conclusion that if something very devastating happens in your life, like losing your baby, there are still no free rides! I thought this year would be easier than last year, but it is starting off with a bang already.
Thank you to Lua for still helping us out even though you aren't here anymore :)
