Winter Fun....sort of

Well we have had a very interesting January. we started out the month with Madelyn sick with pneumonia. She first got sick around Christmas and we ended up taking her to the hospital on Christmas night. They gave her IV antibiotics and sent us home with more for her to take over the next 8 days. On New Years day we had to take her again to the hospital with back pain. We didn't really get any answers on why she was having pain but the x-ray showed that the infection in her lung was not getting any better. Well the next week I took her in for a follow up with our doctor and he ordered another x-ray. This time the x-ray showed that she was building up some fluid around the infection so we admitted her to the hospital here in Price for three days and then she spent a day and a half at Primary Children's Hospital. They sent her home on yet another round of antibiotics and we are to go in for another x-ray when she is done with that round. So we are all hoping for a clear x-ray this week. Poor Maddie she was a trooper. She had blood drawn and IV's put in and taken out so many times that it made me cry. But they did give her lots of presents because she was in the hospital on her birthday. She is home now and doing well, she didn't ever really act sick except right at the first. But she is glad to be home and back to school.
So here are some pictures from this month. I didn't have my camera with me to take any pictures of Madelyn in the hospital but we did go sledding at my parent's house and we have had lots of snow this week so the girls have been out playing. Thomas likes to go out and play too but he doesn't ever stay out very long.
