Update

March was an eventful month. The biggest thing was Zoe was hospitalized from a Thursday late morning to the following Tuesday late morning. On the Tuesday before Zoe was admitted to the hospital we took her to the ER because of her coughing, excessive phlegm, and chocking on the phlegm. She was diagnosed with RSV, a respiratory virus that because of her age is more serious than if she were older. We were given the option to admit her but declined because she was feeding well and had no fever. We were given some Albuteral to help with the breathing. The next Wednesday evening she developed a fever and it was harder for her to eat. We decided to take her to the local clinic the next day.

Thursday morning Joachim was in pre-school, Kari dropped Macrina off at her Godparents house, and took Zoe to the clinic. The clinic is owned by people who live down the street from us and attend our church. When Kari and Zoe arrived at the clinic Zoe's oxygen levels were very low, in the 70's and an ambulance was called to transport Kari and Zoe to the hospital. There Zoe was hooked up to oxygen in the ER. We were admitted and taken to the pediatric department. Eventually Zoe needed an IV because she was not getting enough fluids. After 24 hours of Zoe being off oxygen and an IV she was able to come home - that was Tuesday.

All three - Zoe is doing much better.
