Update

Okay, so here's the update. After we took Abby in on Friday she did pretty well until Saturday afternoon. Then she started throwing up again, even water. Sunday it only got worse. My breaking point was when she was crying in her crib with this weak, soft cry, and didn't have the strength to sit or stand up. So we called the nurse advice line on her insurance card and they said to take her back into the ER. So we did. Interestingly enough, we saw the Bradshaws there, because their mom was in the hospital. I'm so glad they were there because they helped me get my mind off the situation for a little bit. I hope Erin is doing ok.

So once we got a bed in the ER, the hooked poor Abby up to an IV because she was soooooooooo dehydrated and gave her some antibiotics because she also had an ear infection. (not to mention the two teeth that were coming in also) She hated that IV and tried to bite it off. They took a blood sample to make sure nothing else was wrong with her and then decided to admit her to the hospital.

We have spent everyday in the hospital since Sunday night until today, taking turns spending the night over there. The poor girl couldn't keep anything down until Tuesday. She lost 3 pounds over the course of 4 days!!! Not good.

Fortunately, she almost back to her old self, minus the appetite and is improving every day. This was one of the most scary situations I've ever had to deal with, thinking the absolute worst would happen. We were in Hemet hospital and they actually took really good care of us. Amazing, right?

  1. So did they tell you what was wrong? Was it just a horrible case of the flu? Or maybe just the combination of an ear infection, teeth coming in and the flu? Poor little girl! We miss you guys terribly!

  3. I'm so glad she's doing better!!! It's like the ward down there just fell apart all the sudden. I feel so helpless in Canada . . . Anyhow, I hope all is continuing to be well. You are in are prayers as is Erin and Trevor. Hang in there.
