Day 13

Here we are sitting in this room at childrens hospital. Bella Grace has been playing with the few toys they have brought in for her. We found out that Bella Grace had MRSA on March 21st 2011. She was running a 105.8 fever when we got to our local hospital and she started having seizures while we were waiting to be seen. They rushed her back and finally after 30 min they got the seizures to stop! That was the scariest thing I had ever seen as a mom!!! =( They sent us to childrens hospital that night and she continues to run very high fevers while we waited on the blood cultures to come back. When they did, It showed that she had MRSA. She was released on a very strong antibiotic and was sent home after a one week stay. Exactly a week later she started coughing in the middle of the night and I turned on the light to find her having another seizure! We rushed her to the local emergency room again! They ran several test and a ct scan came back showing 3 absess on her brain!! I cried and cried as we waited for them to airlift her to childrens! I have had my scares which I will go into more later with my other daughter Callie. But this was life threatning and scared me to death! I am a very strong person and I believe GOD gives me the strength I need to be strong for my children! They are my life!! My sister picked me up and we headed strait to childrens. She was addmitted to ICU and then The special care unit untill she was finally put on the 6th floore. So many test have been done during this time and as of the ct scan they did yesterday one of the absess is completly gone and the rest have went down by 70% which is amazing!! Prayer works and she has so many people praying for her!!!! GOD is great and is going to see us all thru this. We continue to also pray for my other daughter Callie. She was diagnosed with Nephrotic syndrome in January 2010 and has been in the hopital so much I feel like we live there more than home! She was on chemo in September thru December 2010 and had a picc line put in February 2011 which is still in and she is on 6 medications by mouth and 1 thru her picc line but she is doing great at this time! We are so happy to have her healthy and then this hits us with Bella Grace hit us! Everyone calls me super mom but really I just do what any of us would do for our children as moms!! I just started this blog and will continue to post everyday that we are here. At this time they say we will be here over a month! =( Please continue to pray for both my babies and I will continue to pray for all of you!! <3 Love,  Amy
