Early this morning, Sarah was up and complaining of abdominal pain...for the second morning in a row. Miraculously, I was able to get a morning appointment at the pediatrician! So, at 8:50 am we left the house. After an xray, a blood test, and a urinalysis, the doctor sent us off to Children's Hospital for further tests. He suspected possible appendicitis. After more tests and an IV (THAT was not fun! Sarah has my little veins and had to be poked several times to get it in....what a trooper!) it was finally determined that she has a bladder infection. WHEW! I had visions of my poor baby having surgery tonight, so a UT infection was almost a relief! We finally got home at 7:30 pm...
Even with all the poking and prodding, she still had a smile on her face!
I had planned to spend today on the Bats in the Belfrey/Silver Bells pattern but....kids trump work as I told Sarah. So, I will be posting it on Etsy on Saturday rather than tomorrow. The kits will still go out tomorrow. I was also planning to get the Pink Mini info up today and will try to do that in the morning. Now I've got to plow through the 57 emails I received today.....

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Laura! Give Sarah a kiss for me...poor baby! Hange in there and do not worry about us!
ReplyDeletePoor little thing! I bet that was quite a scare! So glad everything will be ok. :]

ReplyDeleteLaura, I'm glad to hear Sarah is okay. My daughters appendix burst and we spent 2 weeks in the hospital, it was no fun. I'm glad it wasn't that. Shari (cricutrookie)

Aww what a trooper. I know how you feel. Andrew is having spinal surgery on the 5th of November for tethered spinal cord. Scary stuff. But what we finally relizes is how resilent our kids are and they can bounce back from anything. (he is only 9months) I hope she gets better soon. God Bless
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to hear that Sarah had so much pain. Hope she is feeling lots better.
ReplyDeleteAnd, you need to rest, too! Take care of both of you.

Hope she is feeling back to herself soon. Hugs!

ReplyDeleteSarah, What a trooper you are! You have such a beautiful smile. Hope you're feeling 100% real soon. (maybe you can have lots of ice cream lol). Laura, hang in there. What a scare it must have been. Family first always! Take care. xo Catherine A (aka KitCatherine)
ReplyDeletePoor little peanut, she certainly looks like you Laura. Hope she is back to her playful self again. Your children always comes first - I've spent many a night sleeping on the floor beside my children when they were ill - the little darlings
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear Sarah wasn't feeling well. Glad it was a UTI and not appendicitis. Wishing her a speedy recovery. The best to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteAwe, don't ya just hate it when kids are sick!
ReplyDeleteBut it is good that she is such a trooper and and infection is easier to fix. Hope she gets back on her feet real soon and just as u said FAMILY comes first.
(((Hugs))) to you and Sarah. I'm so glad she didn't need surgery, but sorry you had to spend the day in the hospital. My son has been seriously ill for the last year and has the tiny veins and they like to roll, so I sympathize on the IV. I hope she's up and feeling better real soon and congrats on being such a trooper, Sarah.
ReplyDeleteCherie
Big big big Hugs to Sarah and you. It is pretty scary when our kids are sick and we don't know what is wrong with them.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear that it is a bladder infection and no surgery is needed.
I understand what you mean about small veins I have them also. The doctors now have me each potato chips the day before any proceedure is done to plump up my veins. It really works.
I pray that Sarah feels better quickly and back to herself again.
Hugs,
