and again


My sweet baby girl is in he hosp again tonight.
On Sunday afternoon, she came down with diarea, We must of changed her diaper 8 times in 2 hours, We finally got her calmed down and in bed and started on her continuous night feed. Around midnight I checked on Alexandrea, to me she felt warm, So I check her temp, 99.9, We had just been at the pedi office days before, he had talked about stuff going around and Decided to go ahead and give her some tylenol and will call the Dr in the am. I crawled into bed alittle bit later. Around 2 am I hear Alexandrea start coughing and then the following of her heaving and a scream of pain. It is no fun when this happens, It is such a visous cycle for us. We were trying ot figure out whether is was her normal thing or was it tru vomiting. After several min, we determined it was more than her normal thing. She also nwo felt hotter, Again check her temp, now it was up to 101. We place a call to the on call Dr who reaasurad us ,. Said clean her up, wait a little bit and offer her pedialite or milk if tolerated.
For Alexandrea milk is prefered due to her weight issues, as pedialite is just empty calories, Alexandrea needs every ounce and calorie. We get her bed all change Lay down for a bit, get up offer het milk, she drinks 2 oz and 1 oz pedialite.
As soon as out dr office opened, We called, They wanted to see us shortly.
We tooker Alexandrea in and had to see the on call Dr.
After examining Alexandrea, it was decided it would be best to admit Alexandrea, due to her weight issues and dehydration and wanting to stay on top of this before it took her down. Her measure output the rest of the day was very low, her labs were off showing the begining of dehydration. She also continues to have a fever.

Please pray for Alexandrea to heal quickly
