Hospital

Last Thursday night after a couple days of bad asthma, Bethany had the worst attacks she had ever had. She was absolutely terrified and so were we. We rushed her to the ER where we found out that her oxygen level was in the 80s. They admitted her right away, put her on oxygen and began IV steroids, antibiotics and increased her breathing treatments. We were able to wean her off the oxygen yesterday and she was dismissed late this morning. As we pulled away from the hospital, she said, "I think I'm gonna start crying I am so happy." I felt the same way. We are so glad to have her home with the rest of our family. Thank you so much to all the people who helped out with our other kiddos and entertained them during the last 4 days. They experienced everything from pizza parties to sleepovers to softball games and basketball games to a musical in McPherson. It's often during these times of struggle that we are able to see our blessings so clearly.
I'll try to update soon on how Bethany is doing.

Glad to know you are all home and Bethany is doing better. What a blessing! We'll keep praying for her as the weather continues to be so unpredictable with drastic changes in temperature.
