Ummmm. Where to begin? Let's see....what have we been doing the last six days?
Caring for a sick child.
Staying up all night trying to console a coughing child.
Sitting on the couch holding your child (because she will not go to anyone else)
Trying to reduce your child's fever.
Trying to get your child to eat/drink something.
Cleaning up vomit and diarrhea
After waiting five days trying Vick's, a vaporizer, steamy bathroom, Motrin, and special coughing suckers I had enough. She had just vomited once again and I felt as though she was probably dehydrated and I wanted answers. Unfortunately we didn't really get any answers. After about four hours in the ER all of her tests came back looking good. She was dehydrated though so she did receive an IV but that didn't even perk her up like we were hoping.
So we are home now. Trying to recuperate. It is nice that Adeline is old enough to talk to. I don't have to try to figure out what hurts, she tells me. I am already seeing a difference in Adeline as she is getting a lot of rest. Sometimes being in your own home can bring about some extra comfort.
