I thought what better day to start a blog for Reagan than on her birthday. I have kind of been wanting to do this for awhile but haven't taken the time to do it. Today our sweet girl turned 3 yrs. old. We cannot believe how fast time is flying by. Her cardiologist said just the other day at an appt. how he remembers when she was just a baby.
2010 has gotten off to a rough start for us. Poor Reagan got sick at New Year's and it took her a good 3 weeks to get back to normal. We were able to avoid the hospital but after all her symptoms passed she was still having trouble keeping her oxygen sats up without the help of oxygen. After a week on oxygen but no other symptoms, I called her cardiologist, Dr. Johnson, for him to check and make sure something wasn't going on with her heart causing the need for oxygen. He did an echo and x-ray but all looked fine. He passed the word on to her pulminologist, Dr. Scalo, who suggested we try a 5 day course of steroids. After 48 hrs. on the steroids, she was able to get off the oxygen and has been doing o.k. without it ever since. She has an appt. with him tomorrow, Tues. 16th, to see if he thinks she good or if he might want to do a CT scan but hopefully since she's doing better with her oxygen levels we will not need to do anything further. In the meantime, last week the "Mucinex bug" invaded our house and we all developed strong coughs and yucky noses. Reagan even spiked a temp of 101.9 the night before her birthday party but by morning she was fever-free so we continued on with the party. She had lots of fun as you can see!
Birthday Girl-- I am 3!!!
Doing the hokey-pokey with her friends
Pinning the heart on the poster
Eating yummy pizza, cheetos and grapes with friends!
Opening her books-- we had a book exchange instead of presents because Reagan absolutely loves books and of course, we just had Christmas so no real need for more toys.
Cody showing off his book he bought for Reagan
A new dress from Nan & Pop...how pretty!
Instead of a traditional cake, Reagan prefers cookies so we let the kids decorate their own cookies and then eat them!!
Happy Birthday Dear Reagan!
A big thank you to all our guests who helped us celebrate Reagan's big day!!
The little crew The big crew
and of course, my big brother!
Cannot believe she is already three! I know it has been a long journey for you guys, but it seems like time has just flown by! Looks like she had a great time. I love the cookie "cake."
