January has been a miserable month for this O'Neal family. Virginia and Graham both had miserable colds over Christmas and then the stomach bug hit our entire family. Thankfully Michael and I were staggered with our sickness but never-the-less, we couldn't rest in bed because we had two sick babies. Miserable! Virginia wasn't able to overcome hers as quickly as the rest of us so after 6 pediatrician visits in 7 days, we were sent to the ER to get fluids and IV antibiotics because she had acquired two ear infections. What a nightmare of a week but praise the Lord, once we got her hydrated, she started coming back around.
Her rosy cheeks finally came back after a few hours of fluids. Poor baby, this was no way to spend her 9 month birthday. She still pretty though :)
We were stuck out in the hallway because there were no available rooms. No privacy but I was just so thankful we were well enough to be out there and not in critical care room like the children next to us. We were in the hall for 6 hours and then sent home. Virginia's ears are still infected after two weeks of oral, IV and antibiotic shots. We'll be heading to the ENT on Tuesday to schedule our tube surgery date. 6 ear infections in 9 months=misery
But here we are a few days later.....
Yeah-our little munchkin is back to smiling and giggling. Oh how we have missed this face!
