Happy Birthday Campbell . . . Campbell Turns Two!!!

So today was the big day . . . Campbell's Elmo (and Abby) themed birthday party. We invited 12 of Campbell's closest friends.

Here is the video that was made for the party!



Here is the adorable invitation that Martha's friend Jaime designed (you can see her other work here). Of course the original actually has our address but she deleted it for me so I could post it.

Here is a picture of Campbell in her cute Elmo party dress...

Cute right . . . well . . . here is the rest of the story . . . this past Tuesday we took her to the doctor for a persistent cold and fever. He diagnosed her with an ear infection and put her on antibiotics. We went back yesterday for her scheduled 2 year check up and and she had no fever and was acting fine but she was wheezing so he added nebulizer treatments to the antibiotics.

Campbell woke up with a fever this morning. We thought the fever might have been due to the vaccination that she received. Well . . . it got worse and worse throughout the day. Ibuprofen was only keeping her fever down for an hour at at time. So after she woke up from her nap 45 minutes in and she had a fever, we made the call to cancel the party . . . sooo sad. Well to add insult to injury . . . around 3:30, she began shivering and her lips turned blue. After consulting Dr. Julie (Martha's sister) and Nurse Nana (Martha's mother), and her real nurse which happened to be "online" in Facebook, we decided that we needed to head to the ER. The worry was that she might have pneumonia.

Well after a two-hour stay Campbell has been diagnosed with RSV and a spot on her lungs which could be pneumonia or could just be the virus. The doctors ordered a shot of rocephin which had to be given in two doses in her bum . . . poor girl! Well, now we are home and Campbell is resting nicely. We'll keep you updated on Campbell's prognosis!

Happy Birthday Campbell . . . feel better soon!
