repeat offender

You could call us a repeat offender, it might be deja vu, or we just went to our home away from home. I went to bed last nigh around nine and her temp was 99.1. At 10:30 the nurse was waking me up telling me she was in respiratory distress and her temp was 102.6. So off to the Emergency room we flew with the suction machine close by, hooked up to the pulse/oxygen saturation monitor and also with oxygen mask strapped to her face. Jeff drove while I suctioned, comforted, monitored, and mothered. By 4:30 we had finally been put into a room on the 10th floor. She slept a little more--I'm not really sure if I ever slept more than 30 minutes straight. Coffee is the order of the morning. We are waiting for the Docs, she is a little more comfortable but my anxiety is climbing as I'm sure Jeff's is. I'm sure Keala is pleased as punch, as her day will be split between Discovery Zone and the great Grammy Sue.

Oh No!! I am so sorry. Just happened to check your blogs yesterday as they hadn't changed since July...was so surprised and saddened to see Allison is sick again. Not in tune since we haven't been at the pool.

Prayers and best wishes to you all. Thinking of you. Jim & Jeannie Sumerlin

Father God, I ask right now for you to reach out and hold this family. Please put you hands on Allison and heal her body. Help the drs and nurses to pay extra attention to her needs. Jesus, be the strength that Amy and Jeff need. Watch over Keala and keep her safe, happy and healthy. Bring this family comfort in Christ and peace, fulfilling peace. Sending my love and prayers!
