Everyone Loves Lacy
We just wanted to give an update on our Lacy. She has had a rough week. She was admitted to the AF Hospital last Friday because the mild case of pneumonia had progressed and the injection of antibiotics hadn't helped at all. She was weezing and breathing rapidly. The doctor anticipated her being in the hospital until Sunday. That was 5 days ago and we're still here.
For about 3 days there was little improvement other than the fever was gone. She was on up to 5.5 liters of oxygen and her oxygen saturation at times was still too low. She has had to have breathing treatments that include them blowing medicine in gas form in her face thru a mask while thumping her on the back for about 5-7 minutes. You can guess how much she enjoys that. It took 3 nurses about an hour and 5 injections to finally get her IV in. The saddest part has been that she has a hard time understanding why we / they are doing these things to her.
Fortunately today she was able to go for a good portion of the day with no oxygen and kept her saturation levels over 90. The doc says if she can do well tonight she may be able to go home tomorrow. It looks like the worst part is over.
Here are a few pics from the ordeal.
Just before the IV
This was during halftime of the IV battle. They had just given up on her left arm at this point and were getting ready to try the right.
One of the few times she allowed them to put the mask on for her breathing treatment
Daddy time
Mommy time
Sister Lindsy was her favorite visitor

The Football Guys
Tyson & Luke love football. The main thing they asked Santa for was football pads and helmets. Here are a few pictures of the ballers and of Tyson's trip to the Vegas bowl.
Porky was the main course at this tailgate party
Tyson and his buddy Trevor
Tyson with Grandpa Larry
Luke (Tony Romo) Knight with cousin Sophi
The ballers with Grandma YooHoo (Louder).
They literally didn't take the helmets and pads off for like 2 days after Christmas.

It's Been Awhile
We are blogging slackers. Here are some old pictures from a trip to my sister's cabin in Island Park last summer. Maybe if we get a lot of good, funny comments it will motivate us to post more.
