Day 436

     It has been a long night, long day, and long night.  Katie has been fighting her fever day and night.  Her fever got up to 104.7 yesterday.  Even on Tylenol her fever stayed up, so they gave her Motrin, even though she isnt suppoed to have Motrin.  The Motrin helped, but she can only have it once or twic a day, otherwise it will lower her platelet count too much.
     The doctors aren't sure if this is still a bad case of RSV or if it has turned into pneumonia.  Yesterdays x-ray was inconclusive.  Katie will probably get another x-ray today.  But basically, the doctors are saying, "Time will tell."   Katie is on an antibiotic just in case it is pneumonia. Today the doctor asked me how this compares to last month, when Katie was in the hospital, and I told him this is worse - she is worse this time.
     Katie is having trouble breathing.  She got an albuterol treatment yesterday and another this morning.  She also has oxygen.  She has had a hard time of it.  Thank you for your prayers!  We are glad Scott's parents live nearby to help with Conner and Nathan.  Please keep praying for our Katie girl!
