What a week...

Monday Nanny Pat called me. Lily was not keeping anything down (on both ends) . She was also pulling at her ears all day. So I brought her in to after hours care at our clinic. The Dr. there told me that she still had a bad ear infection and that if she continues the vomiting I should bring her to Children's Hospital.

So...home we went (after filling a prescription.) The vomiting continued and got worse. I ended up bring her in to Children's around 8. Mickey was out of town, but I was not on my own, my wonderful parents drove up to sit with me. We were in the waiting room for 4 hours!!! Watching other kids puking all over. Fun:( We finally got into a room around mid night. They had took put an IV in to poor Lily. It was horrible. She did the screaming and I did the crying. I am so glad mom & dad were with me. We were there until 4 a.m.

The next day I stayed home with Lily. She was doing better for the most part until the evening when she started crying/screaming for 2 1/2 hours. This is not normal for her and we couldn't do anything about it. So after calling several nurse lines & the hospital they told us to bring her in again. This time we only had to wait for a couple of hours (better.)

The dr's were concerned with her intestines and did several X-Rays. I can't remember the name they used, but it is where they would contact like a telescope - causing her to cramp and cry/scream a lot. Meanwhile she started vomiting again (this whole time she still had the diarrhea) So they brought me a pair of OR Scrubs. (These are your OR scrubs...O R They??? Yes!) Anyway - again IV. (sucks.) We stayed the night and the next day. She has a bad gastoral flu. This is very common right now. In fact so common that the hospital was full of kids with the same thing. We ended up staying in an ER room the whole time because they did not have any open beds.

Yesterday Lily went to Nanny Pats. She was acting more like herself:) I picked her up to find that Mickey wasn't feeling so hot either...yikes! She did well until last night/early morning with more crying and vomiting.

Today I am home with her. I didn't want to bring her to Kate's and get the girls sick too. We had a follow up Dr's apt this morning. The Dr said she is looking better but we are not done with this bug yet. She thinks we still may have a few more days ahead of us.

Oh - ear infection - the Dr's all had different opinions re the infection. We decided to still with the Dr.'s that said no she did not and not give her more antibiotics.

So TGIF everyone! Let's hope this weekend will be a good one!
