life is precious

We had the biggest scare the other day, Ralei took her first ride in an ambulance at 4 weeks old.
It all started when me and her were just hanging out on the couch and she acted like she was choking so i lifted her up and she just couldn't recover from it so i yelled for Eric who was in the shower. By now she was fighting for breath. She was totally purple her eyes were huge and she was foaming at the mouth. Eric came running in his towell and tried to help- so he called 911 she started coming around but now she was taking gasps to breath still purple but breathing we said never mind to the ambulance. As soon as we hung up she lost it again so we ended up having them come when they got here they gave her oxygen and we rode to the hospital in the ambulance by the time we got there she looked much better and had good breath but they kept her over night to see if whatever it was would happen again. It was an uneventful night (thank goodness) but the doctors have no answers for me. They said everything from ceasures to reflux is what it could of been so we are home now and have her on a monitor that beeps when she stops breathing but so far things are great and she is doing awesome. Some times i think things happen to remind us how precious life is. I know this gave me a wake up call to just enjoy my kids and not worry about anything else. I am so thankful she is okay and and loving her up even more!

life with 4

So far things are going well i say that with well being a word that stands for everything from good to bad. life is crazy some days and other days i just have to take it all in cuz i know it will not last. But little baby Ralei is doing fabulous i couldn't ask for a better baby she just goes with the flow and some days that flow is 100 miles an hour. (bless her heart) so we named her Raleison and will call her Ralei for short (raleigh -gh) . She is growing great and as for the jaundice it is clearing slowly but the nursing and the pooping she's a natural. The kids are having fun with her when she's awake. Which is seldom! She is truley a blessing and we are so lucky to have her in our family!
