Peyton has to be in the hospital for 2 days


Wearing Daddy's hat
Nine months pregnant, 1 week before due date, 1 week before moving in to our house, and a few days after recovering from RSV we took our precious Peyton to the emergency room because one side of her face (right jaw/lymph node) began swelling significantly. They first thought she might have the mumps because she had her shots this week for the mumps, but because her immune system was down from RSV they thought she could have gotten it... The doctor came in after the Peyton's traumatic blood work and body scan was done and confirmed that it was not the mumps but that Peyton's white blood count was more than double what it should have been :( We would be in the hospital for at least 48 hours to keep Peyton on IV antibiotics and monitor her blood count. What a year. After Shane's week long stay in the hospital for his appendix complications, then Peyton catching RSV which led to her getting this bacterial infection, all while our house is being built and baby Paisley getting closer and closer to being born. We will all be in the hospital this year. But we've never experienced anything as painful as watching our baby be so sick and not being able to help her. I wish I could take all of this away from her.  Please God please give us the strength to get through this. Please heal Peyton and may Paisley be born healthy and perfect in every way just like her sister. We know it could always be worse. We pray for all those suffering from illnesses and in the hospital, may they be comforted by God and given strength to get through tough their times.
