McKelle was admitted to Primary Childrens 2 weeks ago with bacterial pneumonia.She had been sick with a high fever for a few days,
and the doctor's didn't diagnose it for 5 days...
Once she was admitted she underwent surgery and sedation procedures to place
chest tubes and perform a VATS on her lung.
A Life Saving Coloring book with "Magic Markers" was given to McKelle by my sister. It was the only thing that she would sit up to do!
SWOLLEN!!
McKelle turned into someone else at the hospital, all the fluidthey gave her to keep her fevers down and to hydrate her,
made her into a balloon!
After a week of laying on the back of her head, her hair was sooo
tangled, it took me over an hour to brush it out, and put it into braids...
Then we had a nurse that I loved named Marielle, and a couple of days later
we again combed out the tangles and she french braided her hair for me...
FINALLY!!! After almost 2 weeks she was able to take off her oxygen and
get out of her room... We went for a wagon ride around the hospital!
Both Lance and I want to thank everyone for everything

over the past few weeks...
All the prayers, food, love, support, and kindness
shown to our family during this time.
We truly appreciate everyone's concern for McKelle.
After all her procedures and surgery, she is finally doing better!
We truly are grateful for the power of the priesthood,
and for our Heavenly Father hearing and answering prayers.
Thanks again to everyone during this trying time. We Love You!

Oh my gosh, Hillary! I had no idea she was even sick, let alone in the hospital. I am so sorry that you guys had to go through all of this, that's so horrible! I am so glad to know that she is home and doing better, please let me know if there is anything that I can do for you guys
Oh Hil, I am so sorry! She looks so sad in some of those pictures! Now that I have a child I totally can imagine what a nightmare that must have been. I am glad she is doing better!!!
I am back to work this Monday, October 5th...just part time. 24 hours a week Mon., Tues, and Thurs.
I had no idea... not that I live in that neighborhood anymore or really talk to anyone there either, BUT... I am giving you a BIG hug. I can only imagine how tough that would be. SOOOOOOO happy to hear she is doing better and is home. Best of luck to you! Take care!
I am glad she is home and doing better. I hope she gets a full recovery soon and you as well. I am sure that is stressful and tearful. Every Mom only wants the best for her kids. Take care and wish McKelle princess luck!
OMG! I am so sorry that happened, but so glad your lil sweetie is OK. Bacterial pneumonia is so serious and she is so young! It is a good thing you have Primary Childrens right there, they do a good job. Did you sleep in the hospital every night too? I remember when Mya was there for a few days I slept over on the stupid chair bed that wasn't comfortable at all. By the way you look awesome, I love that shirt you are wearing in that last pic.
I'm so glad that she has FINALLY come home. She looks so sad in those pictures, I just want to hug her. When I told the kids that she had come home Nick said "Oh good, now we can stop blessing her." Sometimes he's a little too black and white.
I'm so glad that everything is going well. Give McKelle a big hug and kiss for me. O, and get your DVR fixed for Grey's tomorrow night!
I was so glad when I saw that cute sign on your garage door saying she was home! I've been looking every day for some sign of life from the Harris household:). You are such a good Mom- staying by her side the entire time! I'm so glad to see that she is doing well and hopefully you are able to bounce back too. That takes so much out of ya. Let me know if I can do anything for you!!!!
Just seeing her pictures made me cry:( You are so strong and such a great mom for Miss McKelle. I only heard a few days ago and have thought of you often. I'm glad she is doing better and got to come home.
Hillary, your post and pictures made me cry. Your Poor little baby girl she is so precious. I am glad she is feeling better. I had no idea until just a few days ago that this had happened. You are an amazing mom and so strong. Scary sickness...McKelle has been in our prayers. We love you McKelle and we are thinking of you. Hillary...I know you never ask but if you need anything please call me!!
