Mott take 2...

Back at Mott.  Louisa was admitted for "a couple days" this evening.  She had been dealing with a stuffy nose over the weekend and this morning it appeared to be moving more into her chest.  We noticed her color change, more labored breathing, and her oxygen levels dropped about 10 percentage points.  We had called the cardiology team and they really felt it was best for her to be seen here.  They did a chest X-ray that looks good.  She is still stable, just on the borderline of needing extra help and they'd rather she be here than at home in the event that she needs that help.  We also would rather need a little help now than emergency help at home later!

We're feeling glad we're here in a "safe" place, though weariness comes easily at the sights and sounds of these familiar surroundings.  We're frustrated to be back so soon, but they did warn us this was common.  Please pray for our kids.  They were a bit stressed at our departure and likely worried that another month will go by without mom and dad.  It was just beginning to feel a bit more normal for them I think.  Hopefully this really will only be a couple precautionary days.  Thanks for the prayers.

Seriously Lou?  Not again...
