Update on Alli

This is Matthew - I've taken over Kim's blog. Not really; she asked me to post an update on Allison.

As many of you know, Allison was released from the hospital on Saturday evening. That was apparently too soon. When Allison woke up yesterday, she was wheezing again, which is what landed her in the hospital last week. We gave her breathing treatments all day and it seemed she was improving. But, when Kim woke Allison up at 10:30 PM last night to give her another treatment, Allison was a little blue around her mouth and was wheezing, so Kim took Alli to the Medical City ER last night. At about 1 AM this morning, the doctor decided to re-admit Alli. Of course, because of the outbreak of RSV, there were no open rooms (hmm, wonder why Alli got released so quickly the first time??) and Kim and Alli spent about 12 hours in the ER. Fortunately, a room has opened up and they should be in by 1:30 today.

The doctor says that Alli will be fine. Her oxygen levels are acceptable, but she needs some help healing her lungs. We except she'll be in for at least a few days.

Together with Alli, please Kim in your prayers -- she must stay with Alli full-time and is simply exhausted.

Thank you for your continued prayers, support, and abundant offers of help -- we're very thankful for our friends, who certainly have their own hectic schedules during this Christmas-time.
