My little trooper!

On Tuesday night, August 16th, right before we put Abby to bed she started throwing up. We're use to our little baby girl spitting up all the time but this was definitely worse. I've never seen such a little baby throw up so much so Matt and I were definitely worried. On Wednesday we took her to the doctor who checked her out and recommended we feed her some Pedialyte and allow her stomach to settle.

The next day she was throwing up again so by Friday we took her back to the doctor who wanted to have her go to the hospital for the rest of the day to rehydrate. It had to be one of the toughest things to watch my little girl get poked by a sharp needle and get an IV. She stayed at the hospital all day Friday and was such a trooper! Matt and I both got a little sick but nothing compared to little Abby, poor girl. We were out of the hospital by Friday night and that whole night she did really good.








By Saturday we figured we were in the clearing but by that night she threw up again. Since it was the weekend we couldn't take her to her doctor, we decided to see if feeding her only clear liquids worked better but by Sunday night she threw up again. On Monday we went back to the doctor who wanted us to bring in stool sample (oh fun) and as soon as we got her back home she threw up again. Now we are just waiting to her back about the sample we sent in and go from there.

Abby has really been amazing. She has lost some weight (1/2 in a week) but she is still her perky self and just keeps making us smile. On Sunday with the weight loss and being a little dizzy she kept falling over and now has some bruises on her face poor girl. She is so tough though and just keeps getting into all sorts of mischief! We love our baby girl so much and hope she gets feeling better quick!

  3. BTW, Your little girl is super cute. I remember when Luke had to get an IV at only 1 day old and stay in the hospital for 3 more days with that blast thing stuck in his arm. Some of the worst hours of my life were sitting there watching him. Hope everything is much better.
