Sick.......

It has been too long since I have done a post....sorry! This has been the worst sickly winter we have ever had. Luckily most of the sickness has just been Nick and I. Mya has a a runny nose a few times but nothing like we've had. Last Wednesday Brittney and Derek had to take Bentlie to Primary Children's Hospital. There they found out she had RSV, which is very dangerous. She is still there today, it's so sad! Last Saturday she had to be taken to the PICU and they though they were going to have to put a breathing tube in. It was pretty scary, so our friends and family did a fast for them Sunday and wow the powers of heaven were sent down to us! She was released from the PICU on Tuesday and never had to get that breathing tube. The Dr said that is the fastest he has seen any baby go from needing a breathing tube to only needing a low dose of oxygen. Prayers work! If that wasn't enough sadness we woke up Saturday morning to Mya having a temp over 102 and the worst croup cough. I have never seen her that sick. It scared me so bad I cried, ran and got Nick out of bed and we rushed her to Insta-Care. We found out that she has croup and all they could do was give her some steroids to help but it basically has to run its course. My mom had got tickets for us to see Disney on Ice that night too and we were so excited to take Mya cause she loves all the princesses. It broke my heart to have to turn that opportunity down with her but she was just too sick. So this past week we have done a lot of snuggling on the couch or her rocking chair, and watched a LOT and I do mean a LOT of Cinderella. She is in love with that movie she can literally watch it several times in a row. She loves the mice and the cat. She likes when Cinderella dances with the prince. She calls this movie Lella, Gus Gus, bippity bop boo. It is really cute! Her cough is so much better today than it's been and she seems to have more energy too which is good. I will tell you what there is nothing worse than having your sweet little child be sick. Mya has been such a healthy child we haven't had to experience this much and I am so thankful cause it sucks! We are just dying for spring to get here! This week it's been so warm like in the 60's with the sun shining! We haven't been able to enjoy much of it with Mya being sick but it's just nice to know that good weather is on it's way. Mya got to pick some new shoes for spring and she wears them and runs around the house. She will put them on and say to me "mommy new shoes fast" and then off she goes! We took some really cute video of her counting she can go from 1-10, and of her singing. Well remember how smart she was on my phone in December she's better now and she totally deleted them. So we will plan to get some more because it is pretty cute. She knows the whole song "The wheels on the bus". She loves to sing the one and only "Ice Ice Baby" from Vanilla ice! It's awesome so we will get some video once her voice comes back. We miss you a ton and are honestly counting down the days till we get to come see you in New York I feel like it will be here before we know it! Here are some cute pics of our sick little monkey!

Much love to ya!!!!

This was Saturday after we got home from the doctor. She was so out of it, I think because her fever was still so high. Poor thing slept like this on Nick for over an hour.

My mom got her this Hello Kitty pen, pad and sticker sheet to keep her busy while she was sick. My mom is so cute, Mya was in heaven with it. She loves to color and play with stickers.

Here's what happens when she is watching Cinderella, she won't look at me it's all about the TV. Can you see where she drew on her face!

She would be coloring or watching her movie one minute and asleep the next, her little body was fighting hard to get better and it made her so sleepy!

From the time she wakes up she starts asking me to watch Cinderella. Oh yeah and she hasn't had an appetite either but she's used her cute sick face a lot this week to ask for coke in a cup......I'm such a sucker! She's gonna want to get sick more often when she figures me out!
