It's already the 25th of Aug. here in NZ and it's Tirzah's 5th birthday. Noah & I spent hours in the hospital though this morning... I took him to see the GP this morning and she reckoned Noah had to be checked out by the paediatrician(s) in the hospital, to be on the safe side. So off we went to Tauranga Hospital. Got there by 10.30AM and ended up staying till 2.15PM. Most of it was just waiting in the emergency department. Noah was checked out by several people, all the while charming everyone with his beautiful smile :-) They took x-rays of his lungs and a swab from the back of his nose to check for influenza and RSV. His lungs were fine and the other tests came back negative! Praise the Lord for that!!! It seems he just has bronchilitis. He's feeding okay and producing enough wet nappies (diapers), so we were allowed to go home! I found it quite hard being in the emergency department. It was the very same place Noah was taken to when he first got sick at 5 days of age. All those memories of that awful day came flooding back... But at the same time I'm so, so grateful for how healthy he is now! And for his weight gain, his cheeky smile, his lovely personality, etc. Just amazing!!!
