Twins Update


Carlee and Kalee ended up not having to have an April RSV shot. Our insurance would only pay for 6 injections so no April shot. Their nurse informed me that they had not seen any cases of RSV in several weeks so I was fine with them not getting the shot. I was glad that they didn't have to get another shot poor things.
However, I had to take Kalee to the doctor yesterday because she had been running a temp since Friday. She also stopped wanting to drink all her milk Sunday night and Monday morning. Our doctor was a vacation so I saw another doctor in the office. She was very thorough and had us do blood work and chest xrays.
I know all you parents have seen the horrible contraption that they put little kids in for xrays! Honestly she looked just pitiful in that thing all confined, holding her arms up. I informed them that they needed digital xrays because they ended up having to redo one pose. After they had already gotten her out and she had calmed down, they made her get back in that thing to take one more xray! I think as much money as I have given Collom and Carney alone, they could afford digital xrays! :)
She ended up having pneumonia in the right lung. She is taking antibiotics for 10 days to clear up the infection. The doctor didn't think the others would get it... let's all pray. She does seem better today and she hasn't had fever since last night.
They will be 10 months Friday. That is very hard to believe! Still just crawling everywhere... Kalee is trying to pull up but hasn't quite done it yet. They are eating a little more table food, so far their favorite is potatoes.
They love their older sisters and crawl to where they are all the time. Sydney is so good at making sure all her little toys are picked up when they go in the toy room with her. Halle is very protective of them as well...two little mother hens!

I love the pictures of the girls. They are so precious. You and Jeffrey are two lucky parents.
