The Lovell Battlefield!!


Well, our hopes of a false alarm during our ER visit last Sunday were not to be... Aubrey was admitted to Phoenix Childrens Hospital, perhaps the worst hospital on Earth, and spent the next four nights in the pediatric unit. Turns out the entire family, Daddy included, were hit with the RSV bug. In adults this virus manifests itself as a simple sinus / respiratory infection. In kids, however, things can get quite severe. Aubrey was unable to breath well enough to sufficiently oxygenate her blood. They had to do frequent deep suctions, meaning they shoved a tube down her nose and vaccumed her lungs! Wow, was she miserable... She cried for so many days straight that she actually lost her voice. Poor little girl... Finally, on Thursday we checked her out of the hospital and brought our girls home! As you can imagine, Stacy never left her side for a single moment! We're relieved and happy to have the whole family back together again!!
