So it seems I never updated her blog after she was released from the hospital the last time...
well she was admitted to hospital again on saturday. She was very sick for 9 days..couldnt keep anything down, very bad dierreah, just laying around with a very vacant look in her eyes. She wasnt ehrself at all, not even her sick self (where shes tired and grumpy but still smiles somtimes and plays in bed) so we took her to the ped twice during this 9 days of sickness and the ER once. They said just to keep her hydrated as much as possible with pedilyte. that we were doing fine..they did not tests though.
Finally saturday 10 days of being so sick we took her back to the ER, they finally did some blood work and started an IV. the docotr wasnt going to, but the nruse stood up for us and inisted. When the blood work came back it shwoed all ehr electrolites were severely out of wack...which we also found out caused her bowels to shut down and stop working. Which is why she was having such watery green poops. Also her sats were in the high 80's, they did a chest x ray and her x ray was clear. basically she was so dehydrated that it was affecting her breathing.
Shes on the floor now, D7-210 in case anyone wants to visit. And after being on an iv for 2 days now and some strong meds to help with the throwing up, shes doing a lot better. Shes acting like her sick self, which is better to see. they also cathed her to check for an UTI (apparently her bowels shutting down can cause UTIs which would explain why shes still throwing up, and having fevers) they also collected stools to check for C difficule and other things..
So hopefully we'll get to the bottom of this and she'll be home in a few days.
