If you follow me on instagram, then you already are in the know, but Davy has been in the Hospital this week. She woke up Monday morning with a clear, runny nose and light cough, nothing to crazy. I will say she, was not as happy as she usually is, but again nothing too crazy. Then by 6:30 she started going into adrenal crisis and throwing up. At this point I knew we were ER bound.
I actually feel pretty seasoned at this point. I wasn't panicked or rushing about. Scott and I tried to give her an oral Adrenal medication first, to see if she could hold it down. That lasted 2 hours, so we gave her"the shot" and then went down to CHOC. Technically we went to the Saint Josephs ER, since CHOC doesn't have one yet. And then from there you get admitted to CHOC.
Apparently there are some nasty viruses going around cuz there was no room at the Inn and we were stuck in the ER, for the first 24 hours.
I know what you're thinking..... How awful to be in the ER that long.
WRONG, it was glorious. We had our own room in a very quiet wing of the ER. I actually asked if we could stay cuz I knew we would have to share a room at CHOC.
And believe me, it is just plain awful to have a sick baby and then having to shack up with another family.

Oh no!!! So sorry to hear about your hard week. Having a mobile kid in the hospital is the WORST. Especially when they are too little to understand why they have to stay in bed. Glad she is home now. hope you all are getting rest.
Man, that sounds like a rough week. Ruth, I just wanted to tell you that I admire you and Scott so much. I can't even imagine how hard it must be see your child have to deal with such intense medical issues. I become a crybaby when one of my kids has a fever! You guys are amazing and I just really look up to you. And Davy is, of course, adorable. I love her haircut :)
So sorry that you all had to go through this. Poor Davy. And poor you. It is hard to be at the hospital and also worry about the ones at home. They have alot to dea with as well. You can tell I have had experiences like this. We had a son with a seizure disorder among other things.....not as serious as Davy. Glad you are home again. She looks like she is feeling better.
Hospital stays are miserable, I'm glad it was short, poor Davy! She's really at that hard age where she wants to move around but isn't old enough that you can explain whats going on and have her listen, darn. That last picture is priceless though, love her happy grin!
Poor girl! Glad you guys made it home alive and are able to recover in comfort!
The look of pure joy in that last picture...I'm pretty sure it's how you felt when you got home from the hospital too! :)
That last picture says it all. She is such a gift. Thanks for sharing her story with us!
We all hate flu season. it's nice to see her smiling again though.
