Not exactly how I planned Addison's first Christmas

Merry Christmas to all of you and thank you for the prayers. I haven't had time to update but many of you know that John and I decided to take Addison to Vandy's Children's Emergency Room yesterday morning after a long and restless night. Good thing we did as we are still here and there doesn't seem to be any hurry to get us out of here... She is doing well and is being kept because of the timeing of her illness... she is near the point where she could get worse so they want to keep her here just in case. Currently she is in an oxygen tent and is only receiving 28% oxygen, the last stage before just breathing humidified room air. She is tolerating that well but with her being so young we aren't taking any chances. As much as we would have liked being together for Christmas morning, this is where she needs to be.

Santa did make his appearance here and brought Addison (and Annabelle) some really nice stuff... I took a photo of all the goodies and will post it.. I am here at the hospital and thanks to Aunt Sharon, I have a laptop to surf the net! (and kill time)

Annabelle had a great morning with her cousins Caroline and Nathan.. Santa was good to her and her favorite toy is her wagon! she has had Caroline pulling her all though the house! Very cute.. John is going to spend the afternoon with her and be with her when they open wrapped presents, I will go back home for dinner then come back here for my turn of over nighting with Addison!

I am very thankful for all of your prayers.. they have helped me so much (and John too) please keep them coming and I will update as I can...

Much love
Carolyn
