How we SURVIVED the winter months!

I love my kids!

Hi everyone!! Back in 2009, we had our daughter Tori, 4 months early. We spent the winter months in the hospital! Two things we definatly needed...

Good winter snow tires to commute 2 hours to the hospital, everyday.

Synagis shots!! I figured Tori was safe. I assumed she was ok, she was in the hospital, after all. A baby got transferred to our NICU from a neighboring hospital who had RSV. Somehow, then gave it to others in the unit. Then 3 babies got yanked out of the unit and into isolation for the next 3 weeks. Yes, Tori was one of them.

If it can be avoided.....AVOID IT!!

Tori got out of the hospital in January and was back into Children's Hospital because she kept turning blue. Lack of oxygen. Again, with RSV, a 5 day hospital stay in February.

Ask your Dr.'s and Nurses about Synagis, it can save lives!

Love and Light,
Liz

Hi Holly!
I fought the insurance company and made my doctor explain....AGAIN to the insurance company why she was at risk. T got the shots for 2years and a flu shot this year....she seems to be doing ok with the flu shot. I keep her far away from outside germs to calm my own well being down.

Keep us updated!
Loveandlight, liz

We limited the number of visitors and bought stock in hand sanitized, lol. My daughters job was to disinfect all the visitors.
