to the hospital we go ...

Well, Hailey has been the same which means she is still very sick. Finally after day 5 of vomiting we decided the ped should take a look at her so Tuesday am she was seen first thing. After examining her he sent us to the hospital for bloodwork and fluids. Hailey was a champ! Of course she cried and hated every second of it, but she did settle down and when it was all over she watched them take the IV out and never cried! The ped said she should perk up last night, she never did, but thankfully she never vomited. Now that's an accomplishment! She is down in her weight as well, but that is to be expected. She was 21lbs back at the beginning of January and should have gained since then, yesterday she was 19lbs, 12oz.


You can see she doesn't look good, but do notice the snickers
in her hand. Dooda gave her a bear that held snickers so she
is toting them around the house.

Today she is VERY tired and cuddly (I am defintely enjoying the cuddles), but she hasn't been whining as much so I am hoping that means her tummy isn't hurting as bad, she is just worn out. She usually goes all day and then vomits between 7-10pm every night so we will see ... I will defintely believe we are doing better if we go tonight vomit free.

Also, valentines is bittersweet because daddy is not home to celebrate with us. We are getting a blizzard today - what fun - but because of this he is stuck at work. He worked 3rd shift last night and tonight so they put him up in a hotel because of the weather. We are hoping all will be well by Friday and we will celebrate then.

Happy Valentines Day and Happy SNOW day to those who live in the area!
