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!
