Well, the New Year is definitely under way. We have had our parties, late nights, late mornings and way too many snacks. Tomorrow was supposed to be back to reality with school and work and early mornings. We get one more day however to laze around the house (Or organize some more) and forget that real life does exist. All the public schools have been forced to close and all private schools have been advised to. We are expecting another big snowfall tonight, but even if we don't get much the road conditions are horrible. The snow is to the point of not being able to see around any corners and the ruts make your car go sideways before you can go forward. It really is crazy. Officially 69+ inches and counting. There is no end in sight. Monty unfortunately hasn't had the opportunity to peel away from reality like the rest of us. After work every day he has been somewhere shoveling snow. He is tired, but doing well.
Many of you have asked about how Hailey is doing and I really appreciate your prayers for her. For those of you who don't know, I took Hailey in to the doctor this past Tuesday after turning quite blue. She had been coughing and running a fever for three days, but I didn't hear any wheezing. By the time I got her there they told me that she could not breath deep enough to wheeze and she was breathing over 60 times a minute. Her lungs were no longer functioning properly. If we would have waited through the night we most likely would have been admitting her to the hospital. The put her on Neb treatments every 4 hours (more if I needed them) and gave her an antibiotic to clear the chest. She is doing better although when she runs around a bunch I have to give her more treatments. She gets out of breath more quickly than normal, but she knows when she needs "medicine" to help her. Thanks for all your concern and prayers on her behalf.
