I just wanted to start off by thanking all of my fans!!!!
As she waves to the crowd….. Yes, that is my sweet Lily who a few weeks ago was just hamming it up for the lens!
It has been a rough week for Lily, but she is on the road to recovery! After developing a runny nose and cough Lily headed downhill quickly on Wednesday with major difficulty in breathing. She was having chest retractions and stridored breathing and eventually after much consult with my awesome friend’s at T21 it was decided that we head out to the ER. So, off we went for a not so fun-filled night of being poked and prodded and needles and breathing treatments! Lily was not thrilled needless to say and gave each and every one of those fine doctors, nurses and techs many many of her infamous mean looks and scowls and unt uh’s! They kept us in overnight to keep the breathing treatments going all night and to make sure she would stabilize. Her sats dipped down to 86 a few times and when I was holding her down to get the mist from the nebulizer in to her mouth she was so MAD that her heart rate went up to 185! Temper temper that fiery redhead of mine has, but hey can’t say I would want to be in her position either. She sure has had her fair share of medical ordeals! Finally, we received discharge papers at 5:30 am and after one more breathing treatment we were on our way back home to get some much needed sleep!
She is getting better each day - still getting breathing treatments and still has the cough and runny nose, but of course it has to run it’s course! She is crabby crabby crabby today to say the least!
We just want to thank everyone for saying prayer’s for Lily and for thinking of her and wishing her a quick recovery! I have the best friend’s at T21 who completely understand me and my situation - sometimes that is all that is needed is to know that somebody else out there is on your page! In a world where everyone is so quick to judge it is nice to have a safe haven where you can be free… I also have an incredible family who means the world to me - I am so blessed! Thank’s to all of you who have let me vent and lean on you through the many issues that I have been having lately!
It’s is all uphill from here!
