Sophia's hospital visit

Well for those that don't already know, we spent last Friday to Monday in the hospital with Sophia. Many have asked what happened, so I'll give you the rundown. It started the week before... she had thrown up all Sat. night. We thought it was the stomach bug that was going around. She got better (we thought), but by Thurs. at school, I was called up because she wouldn't stop crying. She never does that, which freaked out her teachers. She had a 102 temp. so I took her to the doc., but had to see a different doc. (which I will never see again). She spent about 1 whole min. checking on Sophia and said oh its a virus and left. Well Thurs. at midnight was the last time she nursed. I took her again to see our doc. on Fri. He said it was a virus that causes sores in her throat, but she also had a very bad ear infection... I was so mad at the other doc!!!! I told him about what she had said, but of course he can't say anything since they work together but I was mad. So he gave us meds for the ears and throat. Anyway, she had not had a wet diaper since 9:30 that morning, and it was like 2:00 when we went to the doc. He considered sending us to get fluids then, but hoped the meds for her throat would allow her to start eating. About 8:00 that night we called the doc. on call because it had been 20 hrs. since she had eaten anything, 11 hrs since any wet diapers, and she had only been awake about 45 mins. throughout the whole day. BAD NEWS!! So they called the hospital and sent us up. I thought we would be there a few hours for the fluids then sent home, so I was NOT prepared to say the least. They stuck her about 6 times trying to get the IV in, but she was so dehydrated they ended up calling a nursery nurse to put it in her head... she looked so pitiful. Anyway, they gave her meds. through the IV every 12 hrs. and constant fluids. She finally decided to start eating Sun. night, so she went from Thurs. night till Sun. night living on the IV fluids... glad we went!!! We got released on Monday since she was finally eating. So that is the story of our crazy weekend. Thanks for all the prayers and phone calls I got. Everyone was super nice bringing me coffee and Sonic drinks... you guys know me so well. Ha ha!! Love you all!!
