We've had a rough weekend. Poor Holdyn has had a bad cough for a couple of weeks and on Friday it hit Kimber. We immediately contacted the Phoenix Children's pulm and she got us on an antibiotic right away. Well, Friday night was awful, she'd wake up with a jolt every half hour trying to cough and gasping for breath. Scared me to death! She had a fever and being the super prepared mom I am, I brought all of her bazillion medications but didn't have any tylenol... so at 2 am off to the 24 hour Wal Mart I went. Her fever went down and she finally was able to sleep a couple of hours after 3:30am. Saturday came and went, she was running around so I thought she was on over the worst. Well, next night, she slept better but still had very raspy breathing and a horrible sounding/barking cough. We packed up and started the drive home (to Fredonia, AZ) and I had to stop three times to calm her down, she kept coughing and losing her breath and gagging.....again, scared me to death!
We spent a few hours in the Kanab ER last night with them monitoring her and they took a chest X ray. The good news is it wasn't in her lungs, the bad news is there isn't much else we can do for her but wait it out and keep doing her regular treatments. If she does get worse, they recommend we go to a CF center, AKA Phoenix....aarg! We are praying she gets feeling better soon!! We will definitely be living closer to a CF center when we decide on a place to call "HOME." Why is it that life never turns out the way you plan. I'm almost ready to stop making plans and focus more on holding on tight during the ride.... especially when it gets super bumpy.

So sorry. I can't even imagine how you felt. That would be so scary. Hope everyone feels better soon!
Yeah, those making plans are for the birds! Just fly by the seat of your pants girl! What a scary ordeal and having to go through it without Ben there, WOW! You are my hero. You are the wonderwoman! Hang in there girl. You have such a great attitude and take it all in stride. This will pass and hopefully you can stay away from Phoenix for a while. Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your little family. Love ya Jill
