Well, on my blogging calendar, today’s post was titled Madeley’s Peppa Pig Party, but it didn’t happen. Boo. We had a Peppa themed party with her friends all planned for Friday morning…her birthday sign was made, her cupcakes were finished and her goodie bags were literally on my kitchen counter, but bless her heart, she was so sick that not only did we have to cancel that, but…
…the morning of her actual birthday, I took her into the ER where she was admitted. It’s no fun when your DOB matches the date you were admitted into the hospital. On Tuesday night, her fever began, and she was diagnosed with a virus, then on Thursday, when we went back, she was diagnosed with pneumonia, but at the ER, they diagnosed her with RSV. So…her birthday ended up being us all cozy in her hospital room watching movies and snuggling.
Once they realized it was her birthday, the hospital staff spoiled her! They brought several Peppa Pig things for her to play with.
Smith had two baseball games the morning of her birthday and Kensington had volleyball, but as soon as it was over, Andrew brought them up an we had mini party. I love this pic. The two bigs are talking to Mades and Ashby is going through her hospital loot. Hahahaha! Ashby!
Two days and one night later, we were good to go back home. Whew! What a birthday!!! We had a mini party for her last night at home where she got to blow out her candles, eat cupcakes and open all of her presents, and then we’ll reschedule her Peppa Pig fun. In the meantime, I’m just super happy my big FIVE year old is well. She was such a trooper last week. It’s hard when your baby doesn’t feel well, but she was, as Madeley is, all smiles 🙂 . xo

So glad she is home and feeling much better. She looked like she really enjoyed her mini party last night when she got home. Just love her beautiful smike…she lights up any room she is in.

Aw, poor thing! We once had to cancel my son’s party (at the door as everyone arrived!) because his brother was sick with what turned into scarlet fever. I took photos of the food table, the activities, and made a scrapbook page entitled “the party that never was!” Thankfully he was young enough he didn’t care at that much and since everyone had their gifts on hand they dropped them off for him and he was happy with new toys. At a different point in time we did have to have our youngest baby once admitted to the hospital for RSV by ambulance with IV/oxygen. It was so scary. So glad she’s feeling better!!

Her smiles always make me smile. I am so glad that she is better now and I hope that her party turns out to be everything a 5 yr old could want!!!!

She looks so tiny in that hospital bed. Things can always be altered / rescheduled, etc. Health is most important!

OMG, So sorry for the hospital visit. RSV is no joke. I remember my Sam being diagnosed with this but caught early and he was not hospitalized. I am so happy that she has bounced back!!!
