Wonderful Christmas

Had a beautiful Christmas. Spent Christmas Eve with the Quintanilla Family. Exchanged gifts, had wonderful food, and had some laughs. Christmas Day was fun taking turns unwrapping presents and such. Girls got many neat things from Santa, us, and family and friends.

However, Christmas Eve we noticed Kelsey had started a cough. The cough got deeper and she started getting irritable and then a fever by Christmas evening. After getting through the Holiday weekend, we took her to a pediatric doctor come yesterday (Tues). Kelsey has RSV. Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is like a serious cold. Kelsey had trouble breathing so the doctor gave her a breathing treatment right there in the office, which it did help (only 30% of patients with RSV actually get relief from breathing treatments). So we were sent home owners of a new breathing machine, with $80 worth of medicine to go in machine, and need to do 15 minute treatments 3X a day. Basically it is a mask over her face that she breathes in the medicine. Kelsey had a fever of 104.5 last night, so she is having a rough time between fever, trying to breathe and no appetite, and if she does try to eat, she can’t breathe as she eats. Doctor said she needs to stay home 7-10 days since she is very contagious. Also, this could last 22 days. She may not have a fever that long, but her cough could linger that long. Hopefully Kelsey will get relief soon.

Christmas Time

We have the decorations up and wrapped packages under the tree. Feels like Christmas around here. We are excited. Excited to spend the Holiday together. Excited for the girls. Excited to just be grateful of what we have.

Kelsey is doing great. She eats all the different fruits and veggies in Stage 1 now. She eats rice and Oatmeal cereal too. She has learned to use her hands very well. Anything within reach she will try and grab. Of course next step is to try and put in mouth. Keeps us on our toes. Her latest trick is rolling over from back to front. She has mastered that on a normal basis. The nanny situation is working out great and Kelsey seems to behaving herself. Kelsey does not go back to visit her Cardiologist till February.

Megan has been volunteering every week at her school. She got to help drop off donation stuff for Crimestoppers to the Humane Society. Megan is making A’s & B’s this year and really is doing well. Megan was the Highest Seller of Fund-raiser items out of the 6,7,8^th grades. Megan went on a limo ride for lunch and then was presented a PSP game. She worked hard and I am so glad she got rewarded for it.

Daron and Nancy are doing well. Daron has been working non-stop it seems with his many companies. Keeps very busy. But still looks out after the girls when it is needed. Daron had a great Christmas party this year for his Employees. Took everyone to the Stars game in a suite. Had a fun time.

We took some pictures at a studio, here are a view shots, and also one of Daron and I at the Stars game. Click on an image to see bigger view of a picture.
