Do Hospitals Offer a 2-For-1 Special for Christmas?

Why does a Mom's life revolve around poop, pee, snot, vomit, tears, and drool?

I want to know.

Brooklyn followed in Landon's footsteps, and made her hospital stunt Tuesday evening.

Little Stinker.

Sparing all the details, I took her in because I was worried that she hadn't had a wet diaper in 24+ hours. My suspicions to take her were correct, as her blood work came back with poor POOR levels of CO2 and Glucose. As previously mentioned with Landon, fluids and hydration are really pretty important to keep ones' vital organs functioning.

So we went in for dehydration. Her tiny little veins were flat, un-threadable, moving, or otherwise un-findable. SERIOUSLY. They called in resources nurse to try and get her IV going. One foot, two foot, then the arm. NO LUCK. Finally after an HOUR with three seriously failed attempts, we gave up hope on the IV and decided that our only hope was that she would take fluids by mouth and keep them down. If that failed and she threw it up, we would have to do the IV in her head.

Fortunately with a blessing and prayer, she kept her fluids down and by 4 am, was doing much better.

Thanks to all who pitched in to help with kids and were eager to help in anyway, especially Mom, and Mac. Grandmas are so important, for so many reasons.
