Adeline's Agressive Asthma

After fourteen months of being pneumonia free we thought Adeline had finally outgrown some of her severe respiratory problems. What we thought was a small asthma episode was really bacterial pneumonia in both lungs. Our trip to the doctor has turned into 7 days in the hospital, so far. Hopefully, if Adeline can keep good blood oxygen saturation levels again tonight she will be able to go home tomorrow, after she has some blood drawn for more allergy tests and also has a sweat test done to rule out Cystic Fibrosis. With the hopes of being able to get a better handle on why she keeps getting pneumonia Adeline will be referred down to Children's Hospital in Detroit to see a pediatric pulminologist.

Scott and I appreciate all the prayers for her, and us! There are so many other things that need to be done right now that this stay has been inconvienent, to say the least. But we remember that the LORD knows all things and we continue to trust Him. We have been able to be a witness for the LORD and we trust God will use this experience for His Glory.
