Hazel Jo


Late this afternoon our little Hazel was admitted to Utah Valley Hospital. This is a good thing. I knew something had to happen today and it did.

Earlier today Jen took her to the park with the big kids and she just slept but then woke up feeling agitated and she had her fever back. What that basically translates to is her medicine had worn off. By the time Jen got her home she was getting more upset and hotter by the minute. Jen then gave her Tylenol as it was too soon for Motrin. Then she started throwing up and breathing funny and the whole nice yards. Jen grabbed her called the doctor and flew off to the ER. As soon as she got there they got an IV started and gave her some oxygen as her oxygen saturation was in the low 80s and they don't want it to go below 90 usually. She seemed to quiet down almost immediately once she could breathe better. They are doing many more tests now and scans and x-rays, etc. and are determined to find the problem.

Lowell will spend the night at the hospital tonight and Jen will go back in the morning. Please pray they will find out what is wrong. I had just been talking to Jen earlier today and telling her to listen and trust the promptings she would receive. I believe that moms are entitled to inspiration where the welfare of their children is concerned. Many times we know more about our own baby than any doctor could. I told her to just listen and act...she did and I am so proud of her quick response and the help Hazie is receiving as a consequence.
Here's hoping they all get a decent night's sleep and things will look better in the morning. How can we ever thank all of you for being here for us when we need your support. There are no better friends in this world than the ones we have. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Kim, we love you!
