A trip to the ER

Today was a rough day for Claire. She has been throwing up since Sat. night so I took her to the Dr. this morning. She has no appetite, was not taking in any fluids and was pretty lethargic. So he sent me to Arlington Memorial Hospital for some tests to see how her electrolytes were. So we headed over to the lab around lunch and they drew blood from her finger. We went home and got the results around 3:00pm. They were low and we were then sent to Cook's Children's Hospital in Ft. Worth so she could get IV fluids. Luckily, Brad was home today because he had to work last night at a job site...but of course he is extra tired after being up all night and at the hospital all day. Claire's pediatrician (Dr. Raine) is the best...he called the ER at Cook's and was able to get us into a room so we didn't have to wait in the emergency room. The Dr. that treated Claire even said how great Dr. Raine is! So we are home now after 4 hours of being at the hospital. Claire felt better once she was hydrated and is now sleeping. I hope she is in the mood for some liquids and maybe even some food tomorrow so we don't end up back at the hospital! It seems to be a virus that is going around so be aware. I am exhausted...I'm just glad she isn't so limp and listless anymore. there is nothing worse than watching your baby suffer!
