The Mardis Family: January 2009

Well the Holidays have come and gone and we have started a new year!! Mary Morgan was diagnosed with RSV which is a respiratory virus right before Christmas and this was no fun. She was not able to sleep because she could not breath at all!! We were doing breathing treatments every 4 hours and were encouraged to stay away from babies and elderly. That made the Holidays a little bit of a challenge. We missed the Mardis gathering because there are 2 new babies on that side of the family. Maybe next year we will be healthy!! My Mom was in town but we did not get to see much of her and she was at my grandfathers home and boy I did not want him to get sick!!!! So Christmas Eve was very quiet and so we are looking forward to next year already!! I know sounds crazy. Saturday after Christmas Mary Morgan got the stomach virus and boy did I not think things could get worse...boy was I wrong...I got the stomach virus on New Years Day morning and it was awful....I am so glad and blessed that I did not throw up during this pregnancy or with Mary Morgan. So the next week is good and Mary Morgan is finally eating again!!! This past weekend we went and hung out with the Carnells in West Mississippi. The Boys hunted and the girls just hung out.....Mary Morgan woke up in the night on Saturday running high fever and could not sleep. When we got up and I took a temp it was 103.5 under her arm!!! YIKES!!! SO needless to say we came home early and went to the after hours clinic........what now I was thinking......FLU!!!!! YEA she got it and she did have the shot!!!! Poor thing. I have to say that the Tamiflu is helping even the MD said that it may not work....Thank you Lord!!!! So she is recovering and has been fever free today!!! Below are some pictures that I have take over the past few weeks. I hope you enjoy and maybe the next time I post it will be happy news to report. Hope you all are doing well and your New Year is off to a great start!!!
