Pneumonia

Hi Everyone,

Gabrielle was ambulanced from Langely Memorial Hospital to BC Children's hospital so that the best medical team available can monitor her bout of pneumonia. Gabrielle's state slipped a little bit the morning after Amy's "on the mend." Ironic thing about this condition: nothing's for certain.

Tonight she's doing well and Amy's staying over night with her. The phlegm, coughing, and fatigue, however, need to be monitored, especially with her I-Cell predisposition.

As up and down and exhausting as this all is, we're doing well. Thanks to so many of you for your well wishes and prayers.

Here's a picture of the whole family at Langely Memorial last night. The photographer was none other than the hospital's very own Dr. Benjamin Ross (Jimmy and Mickey's funny uncle).

  5. Good Morning-I hope you had a great night and little Miss G is on the mend. As always, we are all here cheering you on. I wish I could invent some kind of bubble to keep Miss G safe from all the germs while at ths same time allowing you all to interact without fear of contamination. Alas...I am not a science whiz of any kind so I will just keep you all in my prayers and enjoy all the small victories as they come. Hugs as always!

  9. Hi Ross Family,

    I know that we have talked about the whole religion thing as we both believe in a higher power, so I am down on my knees asking for that higher power to send all the strength and courage "my hero" Boo had to get little Gabrielle better and to continually feed your Hope... it is too soon for her to be sick! Please Regan if you feel like talking give me a call this weekend.. 303-884-0235. Love You All!
