Mylee is really getting better every day. The doctor told us this morning that she has very little chance at this point of taking a turn for the worst. The phemonia is most likely caused by the group B strep, although we haven't gotten the culture results yet, so we don't know for sure. She really looks perfectly healthy, the doctor explained they do need to keep her for a while longer, not sure yet how many days. They let me do a hotel stay tonight, but they only offer it one night, so I will have to check out tomorrow. I don't want to go home without her, I will probably be here most of the day so Mylee is not all alone since my mom is still here to help with the kids. Thank goodness for mothers! Especially handling a two year old on steroids, not an easy task!

I was thinking today how grateful I am for modern medicine. It has now saved the life of two of my children this year. If this had happened 100 years ago, we would have lost them both. There was a moment when the nurse first came and took Mylee away that first day that I thought I might not see her again. Without all of the medicine we have today I am sure I would not have. She was very sick. So thank you to the medical researchers out there who have once again save my child's life!!!

I am very happy today because I know we are just waiting this out now. We can do that. The kids actually got to see her today. They were so cute, they all loved her so much. Jade and Brinley just kept saying "awwww, look at her little ears! awwww, look at her little hands!" It was cute. Taylor is dying for her to come home so we can all be together to enjoy her. We just have to wait for the good news that they will let us go....I know it will still be a few days. Thanks for all your prayers. She is doing wonderful.
