Primary Children's hospital

We got a seriously sweet care package from some of our MD School friends from Louisiana. Thanks Candace and Richie....you seriously ROCK! The magazines were hunting magazines for Ben, but Kimber loved them too!

Primary Children's has a team called Child Life. They do what they can to help the kids enjoy their stay. They give the kids dolls that experience the same things that the kids do....to help teach the kids what is going to happen...they let the kids play dr. with their dolls. They even have a percussion vest for the dolls to use!

We've been blessed with lots of visitors...here is Alec, Charlton's nephew. Their family came down to see little Kimber.

Here is a great shot of Kandice :) Thanks for the visit!

When Holdyn was here for a visit, they got to go in a red wagon ride....they loved it!

Anyway, one week down and one to go! Holdyn is up with Adam and Martha's family in Logan for the week. She was supposed to be tested for CF on Monday, but she was really sick....poor gal. Her new appt is Friday for the sweat test. Thanks everyone for thoughts prayers and helping with Holdyn, and all of the calls, notes, and care packages! What would we do without our amazing friends and family for support! We love you all and appreciate Everything!!!

Kimber VS. Cystic Fibrosis Round 1

These pictures are all out of order, but so is my mind so here goes. Two weeks ago we had a routine 2 yr old check up for little Kimber. Everything was as it always has been....we thought her digestive symptoms were just a milk allergy, she was 5% of her weight. We asked our Dr if we could have her tested for CF just to put our minds at ease. We were in, had the test and it was positive. Our Dr. Sent us up to Primary Children's Medical Center in SLC. They did a more precise test and sure enough, positive for CF. (To learn more about what CF is click here)
Anyway, they admitted us on Thursday and we are going to be here at least 10 days. There are going to be a lot of things, as parents, we need to know so we can keep Kimber healthy as long as possible. Anyway, here are some pictures we've snapped in the last few days.

She is on room arrest so she can't leave her room to go to the play room or walk around the hospital. The Child Life team brought some toys to her room to help keep her entertained during her stay. She packed up all of her things in the shopping cart and was ready to go....she looks homeless.

Here she is sporting her broken arm and hospital gown.

Sharing a soda with Holdyn

She missed Holdyn and was sooooo glad to have her here...it lasted about an hour and they were back to themselves...fighting over everything.

Grandma and Grandpa Baker brought up Holdyn and came for a couple of visits while they were in the area.

Primary Children's has the BEST food for these kids and it always looks awesome!

The girl is supposed to be on a high fat high protein diet and all she wants is broccoli!

She has had a LOT of sad moments...poor lil gal! She doesn't understand all of the pokes and prods...but she is being a champ!

Give her a bit of ice cream and she is a whole new girl!

Here is her first try at the percussion vest... one of our new favorite items. We will be putting this vest on her every morning and evening FOREVER along with her breathing treatments.

This was taken just after her tests in the lab. They gave her a little ducky to help her be happy!
