Our Stay At the Hospital

Hey ladies.
First, let me thank everyone for the
comments on the pictures!!!!!!!!!!
Second, lemme explain what happened.
Wednesday, during the day, she had been
*bookoo* cranky. If she wasn't crying, she
was sleeping.(totally not my child)
Wed afternoon I was cookin, I had *just*
posted the pics, and .baron had just got
home from work.
Oni had eaten some diced carrots, and her
cup of milk. She was chompin on a cracker,
when all of a sudden she became extreemly
lathargic.
So we paged her Dr. and we rushed her to
the .e.r. When we got there she was non
responsive!!
They rushed her to the back, and started
doing *loads* of tests!!
They pricked her about 7 times to get
blood and about 5 more times for an .i.v
(my poor baby!) Then they tried to
cathaderise her about 6 more times.
She was screaming, but not fighting them.
They couldn't get the cathader.
SO then, still stumped, they starting
thinking it could be .menengitis!!!  So they asked me
to sign for a spinal tap!!!
After that, they did a cat scan, and
ordered an .e.k.g.
They couldn't admit her there, so they
took me and her in an ambulance to another
hospital.
When we got to the hospital, they realized
that she had a severe ear infection and a
heart murmer. But nothing could explain
her non responsiveness.
The next morning, she woke up like nothing
had happened. And the Dr. said, "sometimes
babies do this. They go from 100% to -5
within minutes. Her body could be shutting
down to allow her to heal. But we're gonna
run another test and check for .west
.nile." Everything came back neg. 
Sooooo.....they let us go today, at like
1.30 with an appt with a cardiac
specialist for .monday.
I probably won't be on very often. Besides
her being sick, I have hella planning to
do!!!
Thanks again for all of yalls support!!!
Sarah

Apparently not... I mean I can't
understand it. At all.
I *was* a wreck. I mean I was *horrified*
at her maybe having .viral
.menengitis!!!!!
But, nothing. bleeech!! I'm sooo
aggravated.
At 1st they were thinking seizures. But
ruled it out because she hadn't seized in
the 2 hours she was there.
Horrible.

Wow...what a traumatic situation for a
mother to go through! I am glad that she
is doing better! I wish they could have
figured out what happened. Did they tell
you anything to look for? Or are you just
gonna rush her to the .E.R. everytime she
wants to sleep in? (That's what I would
do. I tend to panick easily  )

oh my .god, poor
.oni! I'm surprised you were able to come
and post - I would have been on the floor.
The ear infection caused that? That's so
scary!
Give us updates, okay? God, poor .oni!!!

poor baby...
try not to worry too much...my son had a
febrile seizure when he was about 18 mos.
old... it was caused by an ear
infection...the fever came on VERY VERY
fast..from normal to above 104 within
seconds....it sounds just like what you
went through with your daughter....we had
been in toys r us shopping and he was
happy one second, then whined for about a
minute and then completely passed out,
head back, eyes open..we had to tell the
store twice to call 911 because I
seriously thought he had died...no
response whatsoever, and he wasn't shaking
like you would expect with a
seizure...anyway, it turned out to be an
ear infection and a febrile seizure...we
were told that once he had one, he was
susceptible to them through age 5 and to
bring down every fever he had as quickly
as possible (not always advised because
apparently a fever can be beneficial in
helping to fight infection?..don't quite
remember what they told us)..anyway, he is
9 now and has never had a seizure
since...good luck with your little
princess...they sure can give us a scare
at times, huh?

for that baby.....she like .Mia have been
thru it.
Mia went to cardiac specialist for her
murmer and other heart problems. it's
pretty simple.

Aww, poor .oni!!! I sure hope she's
feeling better soon! It's a terrible
feeling seeing your little one sick like

to go through that. Give her lots of hugs
