Update on Mya # 6 ???? and I am tired of all of this

We got home this afternoon... the ambulance was called because our surgeon wanted her to be seen at the ER for running a very high fever for the 2 days.... Dr. Standard is wonderful and had been speaking with me from his phone each day... finally because when I gave her ibuprophen .. an hour and a half later it was going up... I have never had ibuprophen not work for fevers... he was worried about pneumonia from anesthesia... or post op anesthesia.... and wanted a chest xray... the problem was we could not get her out because our DOT has never plowed our roads since the first snow on the wknd....we live in a more rural area and got out Monday to get her to the hospital because of some tractors who had opened the roads... this last snow had blizzard winds and they could not control the drifts... so we had no option but to call 911.

They were wonderful and as Mya would share the ride was "bumpy" at best but they got her and me out... they did a chest xray, throat culture, urine sample and everything was negative... so they said either we had resolved the pneumonia because of our fast acting treatments or she had a virus ( something always said when they can't find anything wrong).. either way Keith, Mary Kate's husband picked us up at 11:30 last nite and we stayed with them ... because we could not go on our rodes . They just sent a plow out today for the first time..... and Paul got us in the Yukon... she is now home and still has the fever and we will see what it does this nite.... hopefully it will not go up as the last 2 days... her leg looks fine and everything else was fine as well. Thanks to our daughter, Molly who works at the ER we were well taken care of.... Mya was treated like a princess.... Thank you all for your prayers once again!

We have had other stuff going on here that I have not blogged about.... but I am ready for this week to end.

Still praying for you all!

By the way, I had a question about getting the adoption tax credit on top of employer reimbursement benefits. (I remember that you posted about receiving such benefits once before.) I posted about my question today and would love it if you could pop on over quick and give me your two cents!
