Well finally some good news

She is doing better, IV fluids and breathing treatments have gotten her almost back to normal. She still has a cough, but otherwise is doing fine. The doc says she should be able to come home tomorrow, provided she continues to do well and starts drinking fluids.

This is an airborne virus that is being passed around. Adults and children over 1 year old are pretty much immune to it, or at least deal with it like a common cold. The under 1 year old kids (esp. preemies) have a really hard time shaking it off. Our kids picked it up at daycare, several others have come down sick too. There are 4 others in the hospital with her right now.

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers... much appreciated!
