Berkeley is sleeping peacefully with her teddy bear right now...unfortunately, she's not at home but at the Children's Hospital in Dallas. Sean took her to their ER on Monday night with a high fever, and they decided to keep her. She has pneumonia in several places in her lungs and is having some trouble with her respiration rate and blood oxygen level. They want to keep her for a few more days to make sure she is getting better. She's a real trooper, though, putting up with a lot of poking, prodding, and a gazillion different wires and tubes.
Brighton has gotten to visit her once, but she misses her little sister! Brighton loves Berkeley so much, and usually starts each day with an adorable "good muw-ning Buw-kley." Another favorite greeting is to give Berkeley a kiss on the forehead and an excited "hi sweetie!" We are so blessed to have a 2 year old that adores her baby sister. I told her that's a good thing, because Berkeley will need her to watch out for her, cheer her on, and give her LOTS of love.
We would love for you to pray for Berkeley specifically as she recovers - that the pneumonia will clear out, that her breathing rate will go back to normal, that her blood oxygen level can stay above 90% without having to be on oxygen.

Oh Julie, what a wonderful big sister and best friend Berkeley will have. You are all in our thoughts and we hope to hear soon that your girls are home together soon.
Hi Julie and Sean,
Thanks for the update on Berkeley. We will keep her and your precious family in our prayers. We hope that Berkeley will have a quick recovery so she gets to go home. What a blessing it is to have a caring big sister like Brighton. We love you all! :)

Hi Julie,
Just wanted to let you know Jim and I will be praying for Berkeley to recover quickly, and for you and Sean and Brighton as well. I know it's hard on all of you to not be together and be concerned for Berkeley. I wish we could have seen you at Christmas. Maybe next you are in town we can.
Love,
Rhonda
We are praying for Berkeley and all of you as well. I can't wait to hold "baby Berkeley" again soon! Let us know if you want us to come play with Brighton so you can both be there to care for Berkeley
