Been busy!

Finally, finally, finally have some time to blog! We have had some scary things going on. On Sunday the 23rd Jacey was admitted back into the Grey Nuns hospital. The day before and throughtout the day she was stopping breathing and turning purple/blue. SCARY!!! We took her into the hospital and waited for hours in emerg and were finally admitted into the Peds unit. Jacey was in there for about a 1/2 hour. During that time she had about 5 of these episodes and they called down a doctor and nurse from the NICU. They unplugged her from the monitors and ran her up to the ICN where they began working on her immediately. It was horrifying and scary. I had to call Jon to come back to the hospital and hurry because she was seizing and having to be given oxygen and resucitated. My mom, dad, gramma and grampa arrived with Jon, and only Jon and I were allowed in right away. They had to start an IV with antibiotics to treat for infections and take blood and give her a nose tube to clean out her stomach. Jon and I jsut stood back and cried, prayed and watched all this happening to our new little girl! It was a really hard night. Finally once they felt she was stable, my dad came in to see her (his very first time). We were all pretty emotional! When asking the nurse if we should call Jon's parents to come back down, she said yes. If that does not have terrible thoughts going through your head I don't know what would! Grampa Hudkins was able to give her a blessing with the family present and it was just such a comfort. The nurse we had was fantastic, so caring and although she was off took the time to come and explain everything to the family and comfort Jon and I. Around 2:30 in the morning Jon and I left to sleep at gramma's and grampa's for a few hours before hurrying back for 8:30. The next day she was much more alert and more herself which was such a relief. All through the week we were back and forth between the hospital, home and gramma and grampa's house. It was soo tiring! Jacey improved sooo much throughout the week. On the Thursday she was sent to the Royal Alex to do a sleep survey where they diagnosed her with Periodic Apnea. This means that her brain was not telling her lungs to breathe properly causing her episodes. The doctor we had was amazing, kept calling her the little mystery patient. She is on a treatment of Caffiene, once a day for a month and this will help her to outgrow with no side effects the apnea. She was back to her old self, bossy and wanting to be in charge. One of the nurses in the ICN even nicknamed her "The Boss". hehe Love it. We are soooo happy to have our lady back home with us. What a scary experience! I am grateful for the knowledge of the gospel that we have and the endless support of our family and friends. You sure know who to turn to in crazy situations....your moms!!!! =) Now that the worst is over we have some new pics to pop up of her a little Jacey show if you will.
