ITS FEBRUARY ALREADY!!!!

Well January is past and gone and February is here. Not liking the way that its starting out, but I must say that God has a plan I we are going to keep going with it. Last Thursday Averi started throwing up, will not go into much detail because I don't want to make anyone sick, but lets just say that its was not a pleasant site. Telephoned the doctors office and you know what that meant....trip in to see what was going on. Oh let me just add, I did not just bring her in due to the throwing up, she had had messy diapers since Monday so I figured that there was something more going on. Well needless to say, Averi was weighted and she weighted in at 16 pounds 11 ounces.....she feel off the growth chart 3% in three months. Dr. Guidroz was not happy at all. She was on her was to being dehydrated. A hospital visit we went. We got to the hospital around 11:30 am and went through a list of things that was ordered. Several sticks for an IV and blood work. Finally got to our room that we were going to live in for several days around 1:30pm, with Nonnie arriving shortly after. We were supposed to see a Gastro Specialist Thursday afternoon, honestly don't know that truth to why we never did see one, however Dr. Alberti did come in Friday around 2:00pm and did a very detail exam on Averi. Once he was finished he left the room to go and take care of something and returned back with news that Averi has the Roto Virus. Well for those who have been following along with us for the last several 6-7 weeks now, Averi has been suffering with some kind of virus. We were released from the hospital on Monday afternoon around 5:30pm with instructions of not leaving the home!!!! Mommy nor Averi can leave the house. There are some test that are still being ran and we will see Dr. Alberti and Dr. Guidroz on Friday February 13 but until we are stuck. Dr. Guidroz wants to build Averi system back up and the only way that we can do that is for us to stay in the house.
Special thanks to Nonnie for taking time off of work to come and stay with us while Averi was in the hospital. Nonnie was super women!!!! I failed to mention that Brad and I caught the Roto Virus, there were times that I could not even pick my head up off the pillow, I felt so bad!!! Thanks Nonnie for ALL YOUR HELP!
We were not allowed to have visitors because of Averi being contagious, so thanks to everyone for all your phone calls, thoughts and prayers. We greatly appreciate them!!!

Please continue to pray for Averi's recovery!!!
