Carolina's New Bug

It wouldn't be a real countdown to surgery unless someone in our family got a big illness. Carolina is the winner this time. Based on her bloodwork, she either has mononucleosis or adenovirus. Her tonsils are so swollen, they look like small golf balls. Today she's finally acting sick by laying around and whining a lot.

So, since you're already praying for us, please pray that Sam doesn't get this. Since Carolina doesn't have a fever and hasn't had a fever, she's most likely NOT contagious. Not until she gets a fever (and the few hours beforehand) will she be contagious. The doctor seems to think she won't get one since she's likely been sick for a couple days already.

Still, I know her throat hurts and it's obvious my baby doesn't feel well.

Keep us all in your prayers!

Regarding Sam's surgery: it is scheduled for 7:30am on Tuesday, August 18th. That's next Tuesday. We'll be at UNC Hospitals in Chapel Hill. He'll be in the CICU (Cardiac Intensive Care Unit) afterwards, until we're released.

Ugggh! Praying for a swift recovery for your baby girl, and easy surgery and quick recovery as well for Sam. And peace for you and Bill.
