The nurses were awesome, the McGee Zoo stepped up to take Jonah all week for us, Andrea took Jonah a few hours over the first weekend, friends stopped by to help and bring food, Mom helped by sitting with Harper so Rick & I could get out and rest and everyone prayed for her to get stronger and well ~ and it took an entire village of friends, family and doctors / nurses to battle that RSV and help Harper recover.

Harper's 2nd trip to ER and Hospital stay
Rough week -- Harper got diagosned with RSV on Thursday. Jonah had been sick with a cold since Monday and it finally hit Harper and her little, weak body later in the week. So late Friday night we took her to the Children's ER and she had a temp of 102.5, ear infection and a serious case of RSV, but no flu or punemnia. So we were admitted and they immediately hooked her up to oxygen to help her breathing, had a hard time finding a vein for the IV and started the suctioning of her nose to get all that mucus out! Harper didn't like that suction bit at all- but it helped to clear her chest so she could eat and not throw it up. The oxygen came off by Tuesday night, the IV was stopped Thursday and we finally went home Friday afternoon.
