Sick in our house, take 2

I'll cut right to it:  Emily is sick.  Puking, fever, probably dehydrated.  Praying she's okay through the night.  She's having seizures, so I gave her the extra seizure med for it, but now I'm worried with how dehydrated she is and how quickly she fell asleep it's too much for her.  My in-laws are with her, so I'm just praying she has an alright night.  Last night she was up ALL night sick.  Sick all day today.  When I got home, I vented off about 400cc of gross green stuff.  No wonder she was so sick.  I hated leaving her to come back to the hospital.  She should be curled up in my bed with me :(

If by some miracle she wakes up tomorrow able to tolerate feeds, I think she'll turn around quickly.  If she's not taking them first thing in the morning, she's going to have to join Abby here at the hospital.  Pray for Grandparents because it's a huge responsibility caring for someone else's sick child.  Pray that Emily does well tonight--we'll deal with tomorrow in the morning. 

Abby hasn't had fevers in a few days.  She's doing generally alright.  She's not tolerated her feedings well at all.  She's at 25cc/hr back on 3 hour cycles.  I hate tummy issues.  Abby hasn't tolerated feedings in 9 days now.  Amazingly she looks pretty good.  We'll have to make a TPN decision soon though.  If that gets us out of here, we'll take it.   She'll probably spend most of the week here anyway just because of antibiotics.

Overwhelmed is an appropriate word for how I am today.  Worried too.  Emily is so tiny.  Sometimes I forget how little she is.  She has such a huge personality, it's hard to remember what a fragile girl she is when she's sick.  This is not a fun place for a mother to be.  Torn between two sick children. 

This has to get better soon!  I pray.
