Well, Karina was in the hospital again in early March. The second trip in 2 months. We tried to keep her out of the hospital, so as soon as she starting showing symptoms we stepped up her nebulizer treatments and suctioning and even started her on an antibiotic. But she starting wheezing so much, it was frightening. So, we drove to the hospital during the March snowstorm. Karina was admitted and came up positive for RSV virus! She never had that before so it was scary. RSV is very serious, for any baby, and knowing Karina's situation, it is even more so. Because she is so susceptible to getting RSV or any virus or infection over again, there was discussion about putting in a trach. We know that decisions will have to be made eventually, but spring is here, and hopefully she will not get sick again any time soon. So we will leave those decisions alone for right now. Karina's comfort and happiness is all we want.
