Uh - oh...
I can't believe it. Addison, Emily, AND Hailey all have RSV. Yea, that's that bad virus that the girls got shots for last year when they were little...the ones where our home health care nurse would come to the house once a month and give them $1000 shots EACH so that they wouldn't get RSV. It's a big deal for little kids to get this, especially preemies! So anyways, our insurance wouldn't cover the shots for this year....and guess what - they get RSV!!! Scary!! Kids can be hospitalized for this! Emily has it the worst and Hailey and Addy have the start of it. I took Emily into the Dr. this morning (along with the other 2 by myself because Kathy was with Shane) ...I thought that it would be pretty quick but boy was I wrong! I originally thought Emily was teething but then she had been having a fever and wasn't sleeping and had a bad cough and then last night, I noticed she seemed to be breathing faster so that scared me so we went to the Dr. this morning at 10. Turns out, the Dr. ended up looking at all 3 of them and they ALLLL have RSV!!! Ahh!! Emily (poor Emily - she always gets the worst of everything!) actually has the virus RSV that caused brochialitus...and then she got pneumonia on top of that. She is one sick baby! I feel so horrible! Having sick kids makes me feel SOOOO bad. I get thoughts like I'm the one that caused it or that I should have done something sooner but the Dr. assured me that I couldn't have done anything different and that they will be fine. Now I just have to put these breathing nebulizer machines on the girls every 4 to 6 hours to clear out their lungs and help them breathe so we'll see how much they like that! Why does this stuff always happen when Ryan is out of town? This is just CRAZY times for the Dooyemas! Shane had his huge surgery, the girls all have a serious illness now, and did I mention that Grandpa Dooyema had a 4 hour surgery on Monday to remove a cyst in his neck? What is going on??!!

"God is our refuge and strength, and ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging. Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth. The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress."
-psalm 46:1-3,10-11
Praying for you guys!

Hang in there girl! We all feel terrible when the little ones are sick. I only have 1 little boy but my heart just sinks when he doesn't feel well. We know that God takes care of all of us and he will take care of your girls. My little boy was on the neubulizer a few weeks back as well. Pop a movie in for the girls-that occupied his time.
Hang in there!
