A little time in the ER
I only wish it was me in the ER instead of my sweet princess. She started getting sick Monday night and has been unable to hold down liquids since then. Poor, poor, little squish. Poor mom doing laundry non stop since then. Anyway, last night around 5:30 she sat up from the couch and started screaming that she was burning and that Mason should stop. The look on her face was glazed over and it terrified me to pieces! I yelled for Tyler to come in quick and she was hallucinating. I called that the last straw and called the pediatric Dr. on call. After talking to him and hearing him say "get her up to the Er right away", we were off. Long story short- she was dehydrated. They wouldn't let her leave until she could keep down liquids. After 3 hours, sadly the nurse came in with the IV kit. Rats! But after the IV, her fever went down, and she kept down 1 oz. of juice. I brought her home where I am now keeping a close eye on her. She has slept most of the morning away, but has managed to keep down a very small amount of pedialyte. Poor squish.

Oh, Beck!! I'm so sorry! There is nothing scarier or sadder than a sick child. It's about the only time I am actually tender with them. (Now, that's sad!!)
I sure hope things look up for you, and her, soon...soon...soon!!
I hope she feels better soon! Sounds so scary...the halucinating thing...YIKES! Let me know if there is anything I can do for you from afar.
Poor little thing! Keep me posted, Beck.
Oh, that's awful! Hang in there!
So sorry to hear she got so sick. But yeah! for getting better, right?
I loved the Mother's Day post~so cute your family took over like that. I obviously need to give Bryce lessons on what should go down around here on Mother's Day. He never had a dad doing anything nice for his mom, so I'll chalk it up to inexperience. I also love Nat's new hair, I noticed it on Sunday.
