Virus, Virus - Who'ss got the Virus???

Aine has the Virus :(
Well, we have a WONDERFUL Christmas with family, overstuffed ourselves, overstimultated the kids, laughed as hard as you can laugh, had some jaw dropping expeirienced and are now waiting "patiently" for Aine to be released from the hospital.
She started to get really irrated Sunday night and by the time home nurse got to the door she was kinda grey in color. Her stats weren't picking up the way we would want them to & her nose started to pick up the old time purple color.
Needless to say - the cardiologist was called (silly to think about now, but hey - you end up using all your options) and we headed off to the ED for evaluation.
She was destating as we expected - so she was put onto oxygen, labs were drawn, IV was placed, Echo & EKG were performed.
Her oxygen saturation started to recover as we hoped that it would, IV was a tough place (which as you know is pretty common for Baby Aine), Echo showed some toughing of the right ventricle (Uggg - let's hope this is just from the retained fluid), EKG from what I know looks good & Lasix was restarted to start drawing the retained fluid. (She gained 0.5 KG in 3 days)

Liam's having fun with his boys & moms coming to visit while we are "patiently" waiting for Aine to continue to get better.

It sounds positive at this time - what I mean by that is it sounds like she hit rock bottom and is on the way back up from there. YEAH BABY AINE!!!!

To leave you with a Funny note (sorry no pictures - I left the house without my camera so I'll have to add them when I get home). But...

On Christmas, Mr. Liam said that he was ready to go to bed. I went in to see how he was doing & he asked that Shawn go in to tuck him in.
Shawn went in and asked him if he would like some Christmas Pie & he said no, but that he wanted to say Good Night to everyone.
Once Liam saw the Pie he wanted some - so Shawn put him in his chair.
To our surprise Liam said "Doesn't anyone eat cake anymore?"
