Our sweet baby

Here's the latest update on our sweet little Clarissa. For those of you who don't know, on Monday morning I had fed her and began to burp her and she did a gagging cough and then didn't start to breathe again. My sister was at my house and I called for her and she called 911. My baby was purple and very limp by then. My sister did 2 rescue breaths and then the EMTs got there. Thank heaven we only live a block from the fire department. What a blessing. In all we think that she was between 2 and 3 minutes without air. (the EMTs did say that she was probably breathing the whole time but only 8 times a minute which is not enough to sustain life.) They got her breathing again but kind of shallow breaths and I rode with them to the hospital in the ambulance. I had called Kyle at work and he had come in at the same time as the EMTs. He followed us to the hospital and my sister was able to stay with our kids. They did every test you can think of to see what was wrong with her and what might have caused her to stop breathing. She was very tired and kind of unresponsive through the day (probably because of the trauma.) One of our bishopric members was able to come and help Kyle give her a blessing and we are very grateful for that. The doctors were very worried about her and decided to have her sent to Primary Children's hospital. She went up on a helicopter and Kyle and I drove up. They did some more tests and ruled out RSV, pneumonia, and whooping cough, along with other things. She had a lot better color yesterday and was awake more and seemed more like herself.
They were able to take her off oxygen this morning and she has been doing well. The doctor said that it is probably acid reflux and what happened was that she refluxed and the acid kind of stunned her and it may have gone into her airway. She has also had some phlegm in her throat and that may have added to the choking. They are going to give her some reflux medication to reduce the acid and have us take some precautions to help her with the reflux so this won't happen again. We hope this is the solution and everything can go well from here on out.

Thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers. We know that Heavenly Father has been watching over us through all of this. She is such a precious baby and we are so glad that we have her.
