Our Thanksgiving trip cancelled!!!

[mommie2angels]

Well right now we would be on our way to Disney World. Last night about 2:00 AM Mary Elizabeth's oxygen started dropping. We were having a hard time getting it to stay up. We couldn't tell exactly what was going on. Her lungs didn't sound wet and she didn't seem to be wheezing. Even though she didn't feel warm Mike said to take her temperature. It was 95. We ran into this for the first time last year when she was admitted to the ICU at Egleston Children's Hospital. Before then we had never experience a low temp. Within a couple of hours her breathing got worse. It just hits her so hard when it hits.

After taking her to the doctor and then on to the hospital it was determined that she has bronchitis bordering pneumonia. She was started on antibiotics and we will give her breathing treatments every four hours. Of course we have her oxygen here if we need it. Talk about being thankful!!! We are so thankful that they did not put her in the hospital and we caught it when we did.

Everything happens for a reason. This was a wonderful reminder of the important things in life. We hope that everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving. Please keep Mary Elizabeth is your prayers. Thanks so much!!!

I am praying for you & for Mary Elizabeth. Thank God it happened before you went, where she can be with the doctors that know her & her condition. May she recover quickly from this & may your Thanksgiving be blessed in ways you could not dream of.

In 1998 we had a similar peoblem. We were scheduled for All Star Sports in early March. My son has a serious eye problem and we had to cancel. I always book with AAA travel and get trip cancellation insurance. The plane fare was @1100 and we received a check in about 1 week.
His doctor fixed the problem and I booked first week in May of the same year. Rates and transportation were priced lower so we booked the then Dixie Landing and saved enough money to stay an extra day.
I will never book a trip without insurance.

A special prayer will be said for Mary Elizabeth at our table. God Bless you all.

Thank you for putting things in perspective. Prayers to get Mary Elizabeth back feeling strong. She's already blessed to have a Mom with a great attitude on life and it's ups and downs.

Ya'll are the greatest!!! Thank you so much for everyone's prayers and wonderful wishes. Hope that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We had a nice quiet relaxing day at home. It was filled with taking care of our angel Mary Elizabeth. It was such a blessing to be at home and not be in the hospital with her. She is getting much stronger. Still on her breathing treatments and oxygen when needed but doing so much better. She rested really well last night. Thanks again for all your thoughts and prayers!!!
