Thursday, July 10th Reagan was taken by ambulance to Brenners Childrens Hospital. Reagan was acting very tired all morning and would not wake up to eat. At 2:30 she had an apnic episode and quit breathing. She required severe stimulation and breaths to recover. Robert called 911 to have her checked out and we decided to take her to Brenners for further evaluation. She started spiking a temperature that evening which has lasted till today being as high as 103.5. So far all her cultures are negative for any bacterial infection so they are thinking Reagan caught a virus. She is back on a nasal cannula with hopes of weaning back to room air when she starts feeling better. Today they stopped her IV fluid and she is eating regularly again with a bottle. Her chest x-ray today showed extra fluid on her lungs so she received some lasix this afternoon. The doctors think they gave her too much fluid yesterday so the lasix should help and we can take her off the oxygen. We ask that you continue to pray for Reagan that she will have a quick recovery and we will be home soon. You can look in her eyes and tell she just doesn't feel good. Reagan is in a private room on the pediatric floor at Brenners which is nice so I can stay with her.
Good news- Reagan weighed 6 pounds 9 ounces on Thursday and has gone a week since having any episodes while eating!!!!
Thanks for the supportive phone calls already. It means the world to know people are praying for Reagan.
God Bless,
Amy

We've been praying for you all. I am so sorry for the scare. I hope the virus disippates quickly and Reagan comes out stronger than before!! I'm sure her poor immune system is getting quite the workout right now! If we can be of help in any way, please don't hesitate to call!
Love and Prayers,
Reagan's future in-laws :)

We are praying for you all. So sorry that you are having to go through this. Hope and pray Reagan is back home again soon.
Love, The Weltons
When I thought about how weary you must be from all the stress of this, I remembered that in Isaiah 40:29 it says..."He gives strength to the weary....". So my prayer is that Reagan will experience God's healing touch once again and that you will know that the strength you have is from God. Bless your hearts, Love, Mom
We are praying, That must of been scary, I am glad you get to be with her in her room.

We were so shocked to read your blog today and find out about the back set you had. We are praying all goes well and you will soon be back home Reagan. You are so adorable!! The Ron Davis Family
God bless your dear hearts. I am so sorry about the return to the hospital but soo glad that she is snapping back quickly. I know what that is like because Misty Parks, who turned 29 years old July 7th, sent us to the hopital I think 30 times from the time she came home from the hospital until she was 16 years old. She weighed 3'7 at birth. So I know how it is to have to return to the hospital. Thank God that we have such good hospitals to help these little ones! You are great parents! I can't wait until you get some new pictures on. I check real often. Have a great day!
