Tradition????

There is something that seems to be coming a tradition at our house, that we would rather not continue if we can help it. Every year that we have been in Austin, in January someone in our household is in the hospital. In January of 2007 Jeremy had a spiral fracture on his ankle and broke his pinky during his second and last ski trip. In January of 2008 our little girls were growing away in the NICU. And now this year our sweet little Mallory is hanging out at Dell Children's Hospital. Don't you know our insurance just loves us! I am sure a standing ovation will take place if Jeremy's company ever changes carriers. haha - "Yeah we are done paying for the Cheatham's! hahah

We went into the ER Thursday night due to a cough and breathing problems along with slight dehydration. (We have fabulous neighbors, we called them at 11pm and they gladly ran over to watch Kelby) Mallory was transferred to PICU on Friday afternoon and then back to a regular room last night. She is feeling a lot better and is even pulling up and jumping in her hospital crib! The PICU doctor's loved that one! Still looks like we will be there a day or two longer. Mallory is still requiring a little oxygen and is on an IV for extra fluids. While filling everyone in on Mallory's medical history - all of the doctor's have commented that she along with her sister should be the poster children for 24wkrs! They were all quite amazed that this was our first trip to the hospital since leaving the NICU and at how great she looked. (PRAISE GOD!! He is so good!)

So far Kelby has remained well (what a blessing!) and is just confused as to where her sister went. But she got extra spoiled by Gran and Grandad who came down to play for the weekend.

Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes. We will update everyone on her progress as we can.

Hope everyone's New Year is a little less eventful than ours has been.
