Update: it’s been a long trying week. Adley was sent home on 3 different medicines. 2 were strong antibiotics, + a steroid to be weaned off of. All week she barely had any energy, had constant diarrhea from the meds. Her butt got really bad broke out, went to a follow up apt and they sent her home with a yeast infection cream… didn’t do anything. We ended up figuring a solution out to help her , it’s starting to help some. We also started to notice mucus and blood in her stools. Starting around wed/thursday, we were thinking maybe it was the gummies she loves. Nope it continued to get worse but then Friday was the first day she got down and actually walked good and played with her dolls, went outside with her bubbas etc, then Saturday hit. She woke up, completely irritable, not putting any pressure on her feet… wouldn’t walk must less stand. Mind you I tried everything, she was screaming in pain. Which led us going back to CHOA. After a stool test, blood work and 3 X-rays. All we got was she now has Astrovirus, and that her liver enzymes were through the roof, we were told to be extra cautious and to have her blood work rechecked in one week after this virus should be gone. If her levels are still super high she’ll have to see a specialist. What we thought would be coming home to better health has slapped us in the face, i know it dont seem like much but to me it’s everything . For me and Cody it was absolutely gut wrenching for me to have to walk her back in there. We just want our girl better. But it seems like one battle after another. All the stress is flowing in hard. But our faith is still remaining strong bc we know who’s in charge. We thank all of you for everything, ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING. All of the prayers mean the MOST and with all the financial responsibilities coming up, the donations have meant so much too! Unfortunately with this news I’m not able to return to work this week, she’s super contagious and can’t attend daycare. Nor do we want to spread it to anyone else. It’s been rough on her and I don’t want anyone else to have to deal with this. It’s so draining. + I need close eyes on my babe. To my clients, im so sorry i have been missing in action, i hope my girl feels better so i can get back to it for yall. Thank you all for being patient with me and understanding! It really shows me how blessed i am to have yall as clients. So if you all will PLEASE just continue to pray, PRAY HARD. We want our girl back to herself and feeling great again. It was hard seeing her finally playing then seeing it change at a drop of a hat. It’s just been a really rough roller coaster these past few weeks. But seeing her look at me and say mama is worth all of it. I’m just glad my girl is in my arms cuddling me .
For those that have sent msgs and texts these past couple days, I do see them. It’s just been stressful at times. I haven’t been able to get back to everyone. Most were asking how they could donate. I will post our venmo & cash app below. But know while it’s very much appreciated, prayers are our number one priority right now. We know god will always provide.
Love you all, and appreciate yall more than words can describe!

It’s seriously mind blowing to me how fast things can change.
