The Delivery Drama

Monday morning...Avery wakes up with a fever and cough.
Tiara takes her to the dr. She has a virus and is sent home.

Tuesday and Wednesday Avery's fever lingers and Tiara is worried about her.
Wednesday afternoon Bampa picks up Avery and Tiara is a mess because she is so sick.
Thursday still fever and can't come to hospital to see her little brother.

Thursday afternoon... we tell post delivery nurse about Avery's virus. She thinks it might be the flu. Tiara, Trevor, and Dylan are quarantined. No visitors allowed to come see us, put in a our own wing of Northside, everyone must wear masks. No fun! But we have to be healthy.

Friday...Grammy and Grampa Atkinson are allowed to visit in the hospital. Our only guests.

Saturday, we are released from the hospital. We are all on Tamiflu and Avery's fever has finally broken. She needs to be fever free for 24 hours before she can come home to us. We can't wait to see her, hug her, and introduce her to her brand new baby brother!

Meanwhile...Tally and Truss haven't gotten to see Ammy and Bampa because they too have been exposed. Ammy is still waiting to meet Dylan, and the saga continues. We are going to see if they can get some Tamiflu so that they can love on their sweet new grandboys!

THANK YOU!!!! Thanks Mom and Dad for giving our baby girl TLC!!! It was so hard to leave her sick. Knowing she was in your care was the only way we could do it. Thanks for not only taking such good care of her and nursing her back to healthy but we know how hard it is to not see these babies. I just hope one day we will look back and laugh at this drama!

Prayers for good health for all!

I almost forgot to tell you about Dylan's enterance into the world. We checked into the hospital at 5:15. Started the potocin at 7:30 or 8. Epideral given at 10:00. Water was broken at 12:00. Felt the urge to push around 3:00. Doctor got all set for delivery and Dylan did all the work. He was born at 3:19 and I had to push once. It was amazing and I even was able to watch the whole thing! A true miracle!!! Great job Dylan!!! We love you SO much!

Oh my goodness. I am really hoping that Avery is feeling better and that her fever stays away. I heard that Kathy M. had to do the same thing with Harrison. He has been/had been at grandma's house because he was sick with a fever and they couldn't risk him being at home with Hannah. I know Avery will be just as excited to see you all and meet Dylan as you are to have her at home.

Dylan is just precious and I can't wait to see him in person!

Oh, Tiara. That was beautiful (and sad... sorry you've had to be dealing w/ all that). So glad you're all home and that Tina are Bruce are there to help!
