Little Miss Mia has made her first visit to the hospital (which caused her to miss her first Thanksgiving at Grandma Debbies). On Wednesday night we noticed she was having a hard time breathing and decided to take her to the ER at U of M. It was a good thing we did as she was in fact having some issues. We ended up figuring out she has RSV. A very common cold virus. In young babies it is harder for them to fight it and put up with the symptoms than in older children or adults. Although what she has is nothing serious we had to be admitted so she could be observed and put on oxygen.
So this is the bummer of having a baby in the winter. She had to go to the ped office a few times her first week home and they suspect she caught it there from a sick kid. UGH - it is harder on us than her. It is a bummer to see her have to go through her first cold so young. It is obviously no fun to be in the hospital but it is safer for her to be here than at home.
So keep us in your prayers. We can't wait to take her home, once she kicks her cold. We will post more pics once we are home. Love and hugs to all!

Hey Kim - I hope Mia is doing better. Mya caught a cold on Wed. before thanksgiving. We spent two nights holding her so she could breath. it seemed to be doing a little better until 2 nights ago. Finally took her to the doc and got some antibiotics. After another night of holding her all night last night i'm hoping things will be better tonight! Babies and colds are just horrible:( I hope Mia is home and feeling tons better!
