As you can see, the steroids are doing their job! We are so incredibly thankful that our little love seems to be (hopefully) wrapping up her journey with this awful virus. It has been the longest two weeks of my life I feel like. 

Just to remind you where we were just a few days ago:

And this was yesterday:

Seeing the two pictures side by side like that brings me to tears all over again. You can really see how swollen her sweet little face was. I am overcome with emotions thinking how badly this all could have turned out. 

We have had literally thousands of people praying for our sweet pea this week, and the prayers have been felt.  If you are one of them, thank you from the bottom of my heart!

It’s a waiting game now. Before the hives broke out, we had been 4 days fever free. When all of that went down, it must have totally overwhelmed her little immune system, because it came back. Thankfully it has been low grade, not constant, and has responded to meds. However, we have to be fever free for 24 hours before we can end our isolation…and you guys. It is killing me. I am so done. 

I talked to Addie through the window yesterday. It was the first time that I allowed myself to do so. I had been worried that somehow the virus would seep through the glass (I know it couldn’t. It just felt risky). I was worried that seeing me in person would make it harder on her and thus harder on Michael. So I just hadn’t done it.

But yesterday I did. And it was good for my soul, but it made me ache so bad. I came inside and cried for a good 30 minutes after. It was an emotional release that I needed. I had been holding it all in. But guys, mamas were not designed to go two whole weeks without seeing, hugging, kissing, touching or consoling their babies. It just isn’t natural, and it hit me like a freight train. I am so ready to be together again, even if it means dealing with toddler tantrums and meltdowns. I miss my child so badly.

So, hopefully this is it on the updates! I do plan to write a post later on about things that we found helpful as we went through it. I hope that maybe we can use this to help others!

As usual, if you’re just joining in, check out the whole story here!

    I am sooooo happy to see this pist , God is good and may he watch over you and your littles, keeping you all healthy and safe.
    My daughter Rachel Fontenault posted your blog to a comment on my FB page..I follow a group in the UK called Long Covid Kids (because no one is addressing it in the US)
    https://m.facebook.com/longcovidkids/?ref=m_notif&notif_t=feedback_reaction_generic .
    In the US we are still stuck in denial that children can get seriously ill from C-19 or that they as human beings do not end up with the debilitating byproducts of the disease. This mindset has to change, children are Not magical beings , they can get Covid and they can be affected longterm.

      Absolutely! It is so scary how much they are telling parents that children can’t get it!

Emmarie Faith 🤍. It took us quite a while to se Emmarie Faith 🤍. It took us quite a while to settle on this one, but it couldn’t be more perfect. My Grandma Tucker- who I loved so very much- was named Emma Marie. My Granddaddy lovingly called her ‘Rie. So this name spelling is a special nod to her. Pronounced like “Emory” but spelled with sentiment. We are so excited to meet this sweet girl in just a couple of months!

They may remember, they may not. But this past wee They may remember, they may not. But this past week of memories is something I will cherish for a lifetime, and has been more than worth every penny we saved and worked hard for to make this happen. If you’re on the fence…just take the trip. You will not regret it 🤍

We had the wildest day 🤍🐅🐆🦓🐘🦒🦬🦏
If you haven’t looked at my stories, it’s been If you haven’t looked at my stories, it’s been a day. Not at all the way I planned this magical first day but very thankful it wasn’t worse. I’ll update more tomorrow when I have the energy on exactly what happened for those asking, but I just want to brag on this man of ours for a second.

He had me for the first maybe 1/3 of our day and then I had to leave him in the park, by himself, with 2 and 4 year old girls. (I wouldn’t let them come sit at the hospital and waste their day unless it became urgent. He tried). 

This guy didn’t miss a beat. He did all of the princess meet and greets, rode all the girly rides, the potty breaks, the snacks, the parades, all of it. He stepped up and made sure our babies still had the time of their lives and got to do pretty much everything that they wanted. And as a mom, that is the most romantic thing he could ever do for me. He is the best dad and leader and I’m so proud he’s mine. And very thankful I was able to rejoin them for the fireworks 🎆 🥰
