This is the latest development in the drama that is our lives just now. Can my poor girl not catch a break?
High temperatures and a whole lot of chest gunk lead to some blood cultures being done on Rebecca, the diagnosis was Pneumonia . Think she picked it up as her throat has been so narrow and swollen and nothing could really escape.
A course of antibiotics should clear it up fine but the surgery can not be done till its gone. So we are looking at about a week or so before that.
If Rebecca is home before the end of next month we will be surprised 
She is going to be ok though, in the end she will be fine and well and im sure we will soon forget how horrible this has all been and be back to normal.
They did wake her up a little today, if its going to be a week they don’t want her completely paralyzed. She is still sedated and drugged but can move a little .Honestly it is a relief ,when paralyzed she just seemed an empty shell , nothing of my little girl was there. Now she moves and responds to your voice and actions, you hold her hand and her fingers move. Hopefully when the swelling around her eyes goes down she will be able to open them and we can stare into those big brown ones of hers.
Im doing ok over everything , i spent an amazing morning with Eilidh. She got up and she, DH and i spent the morning playing and enjoying each other. I then took her to the local children’s zoo and park (the weather is of course lovely here just now) and we spent an hour and a half together indulging in some much needed Mother and daughter time. That was a breath of fresh air , i think made me realize we will all get through this and it will not be long (in the grand scheme of things) till Becca is home and joining us on these outings.
Before i go i just wanted to thank each and every one of you for your lovely words, they all mean the world to us and knowing we have so many people all over the world thinking about Rebecca is such a comfort
I’m so sorry to hear that you guys are having to go through all of this! My internet has been down for a while, and I haven’t been able to keep up. Give Rebecca a big hug from us, and I pray for a quick recovery!!
Oh sweety, I can’t imagine how you must be feeling - I’d be in pieces. ((hugs)) to you all. xxx
Goodness! It’s just one thing after another. Poor Becca. I’m glad she’s not completely sedated anymore - it’d be so hard seeing her maying there without moving or responding at all. You have an incredible attitude toward it all. Rebecca is a lucky little girl to have such a great mommy!
Oh goodness, this is so scary for her and you and the rest of the family. I am so sorry for you all. It sounds like you are being so strong through it all which is amazing. I will send good thoughts Rebecca’s way.
I just can’t believe what you guys are going through. Now pneumonia??? You have a *fantastic* outlook and are staying *so* positive, Laura. I know that Rebecca will be OK, too. Still praying for her. I hope that you guys will have lots of strength through this difficult time. Glad you got some one-on-one time with Eils. How scary this all must be, though.
I hope the antibiotics work quickly on the pneumonia. Poor Rebecca. You must be so strong. I’m not sure I could be as positive as you are being. She obviously gets her strength from her mother.
I am so so so sorry. I want you to know we are thinking and praying for you!! Becca is so incredibly strong. Must have gotten that from her mother
Big hugs. I hope she is home very very soon.
I am praying for you and wishing her a healthy and speedy recovery!! Your in our thoughts and prayers! Keep you chin up and all will be ok.
