Scared
Please keep us in your thoughts. We spent a very scary night/morning in the ER with our newest little one (who I shall now refer to as Birdie for reasons to be explained later). I noticed yesterday that she felt cold and wasn't as awake or eating as much. It got better when I bundled her up but worse in the middle of the night. I called the pediatrician who said to take her to the ER. Once we got here we discovered her heart rate was almost twice what it should be. It took a long time to get access to her little veins but once they did thy used medicine to jump start her heart and her rate went back to normal. Now we're in the Pedi ICU trying to find out what's going on. It was one of, if not the most scary thing to happen to me and I'm aching for my poor little Birdie.

ReplyDeleteOh my, this brought tears to my eyes. Im so so sorry youre going through this and I hope they find the cause and fix it quickly. I will be keeping you in,my prayers. After all you went through to get her you,shouldnt have to deal with this. Big hugs.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, so scary. I hope you have answers soon. P.S. Your mommy instincts must be pretty awesome!
ReplyDeleteMy eyes are filled with tears too. I am so sorry you have to go through this. I will be staying tuned and hoping (and praying) for an easy answer and a quick solution.
ReplyDeleteThank you all so much for thinking of us. It means a lot. We're still at the hospital in the PICU. They've diagnosed Birdie and now are trying to get her condition under control. We're hopeful the medicine they're trying now will work. If not we're going to be headed to a bigger hospital with a specialist. The good news is that the condition won't have long term detrimental effects on her health and well being as long as we keep it under control. It has been a really emotional and scary few days but we're hoping the worst is behind us. Bean has been amazing. Her aunts have been taking good care of her and hubby and I have been with Birdie most of the time. Starting today Hubby is heading home more so hopefully I can handle it on my own. Please keep us in your thoughts. We're not quite out of the woods yet.
ReplyDeleteOh, dear, no! I pray for you and hope that you and Birdie are home soon, safe and sound.
