Hadley was admitted to the hospital last night for low grade fever, throwing up, diahrea and a rash. They suspect its same cold Hayden had but due to her age they wasnted to do a complete work up and monitor her for dehydration and other symptoms. In the ER they did a spinal tap (which took three tries and got very little fluid), blew two veins in her arms to get blood for a culture, poked her foot and put an IV in her head. They also did a flu and RSV swab in the nose. She has gets amoxicillion every 6 hours and another antibiotic every 24 hrs. She has been on constant IV fluids, doc said he wants to stop it so maybe she will eat more via nursing vs bottle. She is still pooping a lot but no more fever or throw up. Rash has supsided some too. Doc believes its just a intestinal virus and we will go hom tomorrrow night or Sunday morning at latest so she can finish her 48 hrs of antibiotics just in case bacteria infection. We appriciate your prayers and concerns. Please keep praying.
Update: The illness has been labeled a gastrointestinal virus. She will finish her 48 hr antibiotics just in case but we get to go home tomorrow. She is nursing GREAT and sleeping like a angel. She does have a diaper rash with blisters but we are working on healing that. poor baby and all those poops.
My husband has been great with all this. My sister has been my lifesaver. She has been helping me at home all week and kept hayden while we are in the hospital. Just amazing.Hayden is a fabulous big brother. HE loves his baby sister and kisses her and tries to calm her by holding her hand and saying "its k Hadley". WE are so proud of how well he has taken all of this. Hadley is a strong girl and we are proud of her.
