Another (little) bump in the road...

It's been a roller coaster ride with our family and Katherine's health in the three short weeks she's been with us. We took her to her Pediatrician, Dr. Lively, last Thursday (Valentine's Day) because of some congestion and a cough only to be told I had to either take her straight to Liberty Hosptial or they would call an ambulance to take her from the office. Not what I expected to hear. His fear was RSV or the beginning of pnuemonia...fortunately that was not the case (just bronchialitis) but an overnight stay in the Pediatric unit with Katherine was necessary for oxygen and breathing treatments. Normally this would not be an issue, but at three weeks of age, it was a little scary for us. She's doing great now and we are grateful that it was nothing more than it was...and grateful for my parents quickly volunteering to take Jonathan and Nicholas Thursday night, Friday night, and Saturday night (they refused to return them to their rightful owners until Sunday afternoon). It gave Jason and I some one-on-one time with Katherine and (believe it or not with a newborn in the house) some time to rest a little.

Grandpa took Jonathan to the barber shop downtown in Clinton while he stayed with them...got a nice little crew cut.














Nick got a haircut courtesty of Grandpa the following day at Snip-n-Clip in Clinton.
