Our Little Patient

The day before my family came into town Kennedy started not feeling very well, at first we thought she was teething, but then it seemed to turn into a cold. The evening my family got here Kennedy was having trouble breathing so we had to take her into the Emergency Room. I guess they don’t take respiratory problems lightly, because we were in a room and had nurses surrounding us in a matter of a minutes. They weren’t sure exactly what was wrong, but they ran a bunch of tests on the poor girl. They drew her blood, gave her an iv, took x-rays and gave her lots of breathing treatments. Right off they found out she had ear infections in both ears and was dehydrated, but they weren’t sure why she was having trouble breathing. After all the tests came back, they ruled out pneumonia and the flu but at 1 am they decided they needed to keep her over night to keep monitoring her. She improved a lot over the next day and they released her the following afternoon. It was scary stuff, but we are glad they took good care of her and that she is doing much better! We sure think she made a cute little patient though! Once they unhooked her from her iv, monitors and all the cords and she could roam around free she was one happy camper and back to her normal self again!

They still aren’t exactly sure why she was having trouble breathing, but they treated her for asthma, I guess asthma and allergies are very common in San Antonio. But they can’t officially say she has asthma unless she has another episode, so we are just hoping it was a one time thing and we don’t have to deal with it again! We feel so grateful that she is ok and healthy!

Poor girl :( She’s enjoying the freedom from cords!

It’s kind of hard to put something in your mouth when you can’t bend your arm huh Kennedy?!

Although it was frustrating this happened while my family was here visiting, we feel very blessed that they were here to give us support during the whole thing! Kennedy had fun playing with Grandma and Grandpa at the hospital and just before we were released she fell asleep (not surprising since she didn’t sleep much that night or day) in Grandpa Jim’s arms. So cute!

We love our ‘sweetness’ and are so glad she is feeling better!

Jensen Family Reunion!

My family came to visit us in Texas for a few days last week. It was so fun having them here and showing them around San Antonio! We went downtown and saw the Alamo, Riverwalk, took the rivercruise and enjoyed a yummy mexican meal. We played lots of games, enjoyed Texas bbq, spent some time in the hospital, (more on that later) relaxed and just enjoyed being together. The AlamoReminiscing of old times. My family lived in Texas for about four years when we were younger and took a very similar picture here on these steps. (Except no balloons this time…that’s why we look like goofs acting like little kids and “holding balloons”) We should’ve looked at the original picture right before to get it a little more accurate though.

On the rivercruise Our little family Just outside Casa Rio, a really yummy mexican restaurant we ate at along the Riverwalk. On Saturday Gma Rose got her dream and got to have Kennedy to herself all day while the rest of us went to Schlitterbahn Waterpark, which is ranked one of the top waterparks in the world! There were tons of slides and it was lots of fun!

From Wikipedia: “The New Braunfels park now boasts over 3 miles of inner tube rides, 7 water playgrounds for children, uphill water coasters, 17 water slides, and the world's first surfing machine”
