Just a quick update to let you all know how Lauren is feeling.
I took her to a local hospital yesterday, where they checked her out and then made the decision that she needed to be transported down to Children's. They admitted her and will probably make her stay for a few days. She has a viral infection in her lungs and was having a really hard time breathing. She was on 6 liters of oxygen and her saturation's were still in the 90-92 range. She isn't needing as much oxygen today but it's still to high to let her go home.
They started her on steroids for her lungs and they are giving her three different breathing treatments every 2 hours. She has a terrible cough and it keeps causing her to have bronc spasms due to her reactive airway disease.
She is a trooper and hanging in there. It's a lot harder being in the hospital now that she is toddler. It breaks my heart when she cries because she's in pain.
So once again our little family is separated. Bryan has been gone for the past two weeks, but will be returning tonight from his two weeks away at training. Ashley is at her grandparents and Lauren and I are an hour and a half away from home.
I want off this roller coaster ride!
OK, I better get going. I drove home for a quick shower and clean clothes.
Lauren had her favorite nurse today, so I felt comfortable leaving her to freshen up.
We've definitely been to the hospital one to many times. It was like a reunion yesterday, they all love her so much. She makes everyone smile. All the nurses took turns coming in to her room to say hello to her. It was cute.
Sorry if this post is all over the place and I'm sure I misspelled a few words! I'm going on only a few hours of sleep for the past two days.
Keep us in your prayers.
Sarah

Thanks for taking the time to update us. We're definitely keeping Lauren and your entire family in our prayers. I'm so sorry that you're back in the hospital again, but I'm happy to hear that Lauren is so loved by everyone there! :)
ohhh sarah. we are definitely praying for you little trooper - she's such a tough chick. i'm glad her favorite nurse is working today...i'm going to pray that somehow your minutes of sleep can be multiplied into a whole nights' worth. poor sweet baby - i wasn't around long enough to get to know her as a toddler, but just from her pictures she is a little ray of sunshine - no wonder everyone loves her so much.
hugs to you from the swamp, love the fischers
Thank you for the update! I've been wondering how she's doing. Your family is so strong and I know Lauren will bounce back from this. Give that little girl a kiss for me!
