Welcome to my monthly post where I share a peek into the last month at our house! Let’s just say that January was eventful!
We started the month on January 1 with driving back from our Christmas trip to Kansas. Kathrynne and Micah got sick on the trip home and by the time we got home, they were both really sick. We took Micah to the ER a few hours after we got home as his breathing was so bad.
January 3 we took Kathrynne to the ER as she just wasn’t doing well at all. She ended up testing positive for Flu A and her chest x-ray showed bronchitis. After they gave her fluids and her levels looked better, they released her.
We came back home and I cared for her and tried to take care of myself as I was also feeling under the weather myself. I did print my goals sheets out for January. (I had to laugh as I pulled this pic from Instagram stories and saw the typo shoorting that I’d missed when I posted this!)
January 5 we were back in the ER because Kathrynne was not doing well at all and we were concerned about her. We’re so grateful we were prompted to take her back in as her Flu A and bronchitis had turned into bacterial pneumonia and the beginning stages of sepsis. They caught it right in time and were able to quickly get her on antibiotics. She was admitted to the ICU stepdown unit for a few days.
If you want to hear more about our experiences during this time, you can read this post and also listen to our podcast where we share about what transpired and how we knew to take Kathrynne in.
