Breathe Easy!

Some of you may know that Uncle Jeff was in the hospital last Sunday and Monday. He is home now and doing well. It appears that he has been walking around with a fairly severe respiratory infection for a week or so before he went in to the hospital. His ability to circulate what little oxygen he was getting began to compromise his vital functions, i.e. heart. It makes sense--if your heart doesn't get any oxygen, it starts to complain! Well, after all was said and done, his heart is fine. As a matter of fact, the doctors all said that his heart is one of the strongest, healthiest hearts they've seen--strong as an ox. Now he just has to be patient, get rid of the lung infection, and deal with all the breathing treatments.

As a side bar--this infection is not contagious!
Breathe Easy!

That is a scary episode. How long will he be recouperating? I assume he is at home taking plenty of penecillin. We just finished our labor video, and we want to share it with you if you are able to on Sunday.

Sarah, Dr. Christopher's brand is one of the better 6 week formulas out there! If you have any questions about the formula or about labor in general, call me anytime. Good luck and have fun (if you keep a good sense of humor labor CAN actually be fun!!!)
Love ya:)
