ugh.

Change in plans.
We're going back to the ER.

she isn't the only little patient

Sprout spent the weekend intermittently vomiting, I put her back on clear liquids and we've worked up to soft -squishy. Yesteday was a half day, and she is going to try for school today. Still weak, but not vomiting.

Elvis had an appointment at 345 yesterday to get his stitches out. At 4pm they took him to the back, we didn't leave until 6pm. They had to sedate him. Eegh.

No more stitches, no more tubes, but he has to wear his cone for another five days. We were given some spray to help alleviate the itching... his poor head is all torn up around his ear from his efforts to scratch an itch he couldn't get to.

He's getting skinny. :(

Today is going to be busy busy.
As soon as the bus arrives to pick up the kiddo for school, Bosley and I are heading off to the vet.. He is getting neutered today.

Then back here for my physical therapy appointment, then up to the hospital to hang out with my girl R3D and most likely give her a ride home and make with some nursing.

Today would have been my grammas 82nd bithday. Today is my sister Tiffani's 35th birthday. Sprout's got a friend who became 11 today as well.

One week from today, I'll have a 12yr old.

whoa.

parched

Sprout and I went alone to the ER. We arrived a little before 3pm yesterday. The service was much better than the day before (which I don't want to rehash, but there will be a letter enclosed with the patient survey that will be arriving in my mailbox soon).

Sprout was remarkably dry. They had a difficult time getting a line in. She took four liters of iv fluid. We were admitted. It was a big ol' pile of ugly. Nothing like three days with essentially no sleep, lots of blood vomit, and whole lot of hospital loitering. She is still tired and pasty.. but looks sooo much better. We came back to Mom's this morning. I slept most of the day away. Tomorrow we're going home.

I've developed a headache, and have felt like I'm going to vomit for about the last two hours. I hope its not my turn now. I need to go buy groceries.

:(

I did manage to whip out a caliometry while hanging out at the ER.
It might get a test run of holding my hair back.

motion is bad

We're going back to the ER.

In addition to the blood vomiting, which the medication seemed to have stopped (no pukes in an hour!) after talking to my mom and Sprout's nurses.. Sprout (who has been taken to the bathroom) hasnt actually urinated since 615pm yesterday.

In case anyone is snarking.. why you postin' get to the er!
Sprout is asleep on my lap.. and I'm waiting for my mom to get here
(ie.. ten minutes to kill)


thanks everyone who's been well wishin' thus far

eegh

Sprout is vomiting again.
