Gearing up to go HOME!
Sleeping in her bed. The pink bear, "Ollie" was with her the whole time. 
Our favorite nurse, Michelle! She was so great!!!!!!! We loved her!
Enjoying a hospital meal - mommy looks a bit on the greasy side.
Just settling in to the hospital....Expect the unexpected... isn't that a slogan for something? Anyhow, it's been a week. First off, we had to put our male lab, Bubba down on early Wednesday morning due to a twisted abdomen and possible cancer. It was a sad, sad day for us at the Thompson household and dealing with questions on death and heaven are hard to answer when your little ones question you about it....it gets better, hold on.
Long story short, Kennedy was admitted to the hospital on Saturday morning due to asthma related stuff that normal meds wouldn't take care of. The kicker of it was, Bryan was gone on a fishing trip down in Orofino and didn't have cell service. Mom was taking care of Hayden and here I am at the hospital with my 3 year old little girl. Boy, was she brave! She was so strong and happy. I am so proud of her. She was hooked up to oxygen and we had to undo her before she had to go to the bathroom! She is one little trooper. All of the staff enjoyed her because she was such a joy. Someone would walk into her room and she'd say, "Hi, I'm Kennedy!"
We were originally in a room by the nurses station... so that they could keep an eye on her... they called it the "safe room" or a room that they bring people who basically need to be watched. - and I'm thinking the looney tunes, here people. Not Kennedy so much, but that was the closest they could put us. Well, Saturday night, they needed that safe room and Kennedy and I were being wheeled into our new room at midnight!!! It was quite the ride on the bed!
Is it bad to admit I enjoyed not fixing meals for a couple of days? We had a Super Bowl Party in our room, with two tv's going. Hayden and Kennedy had a third tv that they could watch movies on if they chose to do so. We even ordered pizza!!!
Anyhow, it's been a week, and little miss K and I are staying at home today, and probably tomorrow just to be on the safe side. Here's to a better week!!!

Oh man Wendy! What a horrible few days! I'm so sorry about your dog. I hope Kennedy is doing better. Hospitals are never fun. Sounds like she was a real trooper though.
