we are loving it here!

okay, not really.  Allie and i are actually sitting in a hospital room for the second day.  Thus the reason i am actually blogging!  i never have time to blog, but for the last couple of days i have had nothing but time!  weird!  Anyway, here is the story:
Allie had a cough for a few days, but monday and tuesday it had gotten worse.  I knew we were in for a rough night wednesday night, so were all in bed by 8:00 that night...Allie woke up at 8:30.  I brought her to my room and of course didnt get much sleep.  I noticed while she was sleeping that her breathing was pretty labored and her heart rate was high, so i took her to the ER (thank heavens we have better insurance right now than we did a couple months ago or i probably would have thought twice).
When we got to the ER they took an x-ray and saw that she had pnemonia and decided to admit her.  they tried to put an IV in 6 times, let me repeat, 6 TIMES before they gave up and gave her an antiobiotic with a shot instead.  They have since been monitoring her oxygen levels and had to put her on oxygen last night while she slept.  She is doing a lot better today but they want to keep her one more night to monitor her oxygen levels while she sleeps.  I am hopning for a really good night and for my baby to get better.  But I also have tons of wrapping to do before Christmas not to mention the million other things that I am just going to have to let go that i wanted to do before Christmas.  Oh well.  I am glad my baby is better and my family is happy and healthy.  Maybe, during the next couple weeks I have off, I will have time to update my blog on everything
