Meili's First (and hopefully only) Hospital Stay

Last week we had a little scare with Meili. She was having trouble breathing so we called a nurse (at 11:00 at night - of course these things happen on the weekends and after hours), who told us to call an ambulance immediately - yikes! So after 5 hours in the ER of the nearest hospital, we were transferred to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. After the doctors examined her, they finally let us go to sleep - at 5:30 in the morning! She was diagnosed with bronchiolitis and needed to be monitored until she started to get better. After two days of recovery and monitoring (aka, catching up on sleep) they finally sent us home. In the meantime, we mostly dozed and ate hospital food, with the occasional interruption of the nurse. Here are a few shots of the experience.

Oh, my goodness! That photo of Meili is so sad! I'm sorry for such a scary and exhausting experience. Is everything better now? Little babies shouldn't have to go through that. At least you all look really cute and happy in the hospital. :)
