One Last Diagnosis

Journey had another set of chest x-rays today.  They revealed that she has developed viral pneumonia.  Although it sounds bad, they pretty much told us that it is to be expected and that her treatment will remain the same.  Her lungs apparently looked cloudy but didn't have any major spots on them.  This is apparently a good thing! We are still praying that we can reduce and eliminate her need for oxygen soon.  We want our baby girl all better.  Until then...we will be hanging out at the hospital.  

We are really trying to maintain a thankful attitude for several reasons.  We have insurance.  Demetrius' class that was schedule for this week was cancelled.  She is not in ICU.  She is not having to be suctioned.  Her IV was taken out tonight.  She is eating and sleeping well.  She is smiling and playing.  She is getting better!
