Glad Kimber is home and not in the hospital.

Wow it has been a rough few days. I think I have now been up just about every hour on the hour since Fri at 4am. It is now Tue at 6 pm. and Kimber has finally started coming around. I took her to the doc on Mon because I was getting worried since she was not drinking and not eating much. The doctor then told me I could take her home and see if she was better in the morning but if she was not then we would be checking into the hospital. Ok so at this point I was scared and working on little sleep anyways so when the doctor told me this I was not sure how I was going to make it through another night. Waking her up every hour to try and get her to drink something. From about 2 pm - 2 am all she had to drink was about 1/2 and ounce of water. So I was almost positive that we would be going to the hospital this morning. I guess just as I was loosing the faith I was proven wrong yet again. Kimber woke up and wanted something to drink at 2am, 4am, 5am, and 6am. SIGH of relief!!! She only had water, cheerios, applesauce, and toast today so hopefully tomorrow she can start eating more normal food. Although at this point anything in my book is good and just glad it is something rather then nothing. That is a quick update for now. I should try to get a few more things done for work. I am supposed to work tomorrow so hope I have the energy to make the day.:) Thankfully this week is only a long day tomorrow then Thur and Fri should be shorter days.

  1. Hi Monica,
    Wow. It's so easy for my world to become inward focused when our household has been having a hard time with sickness and other medical issues. I just read your last couple posts. I'm so sorry to hear about what you've been going through. I'm glad it looks like she is pulling out of it - and you too. Having a sick child can be incredibly scary. I'm praying for you guys right now as I write. I'll give you a call soon, and I'll keep you all in my prayers (I won't be seeing you tomorrow unfortunately - but you probably already know that from Eric's message).
    Praying that you'll all have a restorative night's rest too,
    love you,
    Natalie
