Halloween 2006 - Spending it in Texas Children's Hospital

The babies spent their first holiday in the hospital, at this stage everyone was on the road to recovery.....so pictures were a must. We dressed them in their halloween gear (with minor adjustments to the outfits to fit over IV's etc.) to mark the occassion. If some of you didn't realize, the triplets all came down with RSV (Respiratory Synchtial Virus) and required hospitalization. Tripp and Taylor were the worst, almost requiring intubation to help them breathe. Tripp and Taylor were put on CPAP, and had to spend time in the PICU (Pediatric Intensive Care Unit). We are thankful that they made it through, and are safe and well back at home. The first picture above is of Tripp, the babies were approximately 2 1/2 months old.

Taylor (middle picture) a few days before release day. She spent the most time in the hospital, being the one who became ill first. Overall she was the sickest, but thankfully bounced back!
the day before being released from TCH.
Addison (bottom picture) looks as if she she saw a ghost. She did the best overall, and we say she was on vacation in the NICU. She did suffer slight dehydration from not wanting to eat, but they had her on IV fluids to take care of that.
