We finally have some news! Dr. Thomas a pediatric pulmonary specialist in Baton Rouge saw Mary Grace yesterday and gave us some insight to what might be going on with our little angel. He seems to think it is one of three things. Out of the three, all of them will not alter her life by any means.She will have these problems for the rest of her life but it can be treated with medication. She will have some more testing to do to confirm which one of the three Dr. Thomas thinks it may be. He said that she may not be a great track star when she is in high school due to the lung issues but she will be just fine. She may even have to sleep with oxygen at night for a long time but she will live a normal, healthy life. Katie and Joe are feeling some relief but they will not be completely satisfied until the test results come back and they know which one of the three they are dealing with. The doctor did say Mary Grace does not have RSV, but she does have a little virus and they can not do the test until she gets rid of the virus. We are hoping they can start the test as soon as possible. We are not sure yet if she will be coming home until the virus runs its course or if they will keep her in the hospital and run the test as soon as they can. I will update again as soon as I get new information from Katie. The continued support and prayers mean so much to Katie and Joe. They really appreciate all the love and care everyone has given them. We are finally on a road to some answers to get our baby girl well.

I visited Mary Grace in the hospital today. She is so precious. She was eating graham crackers and cereal and giving everyone some! She wanted to walk around the room but her "wires" were too short. I am glad to hear the latest good news. Joe and Katie have been very vigilant and faithful parents getting her the care and tests that she needs, she is a lucky little girl. When I left she was blowing me kisses and waving bye. I got as much of her sugar as I could. I love all three of you. Aunt Jeanie
