O's Visit to the ER

It was Sunday evening, January 30th, around 9:00pm and Olivia really didn't seem herself at all and spiked a high fever out of nowhere. She hadn't been herself since Wednesday. We got her into the Dr. on Friday and she thought it might be influenza and put her on Omnicef. O also had not been drinking very much at all and had only 2 diapers a day for the past 4 days. Olivia also developed a deep cough, so we were worried about pneumonia & dehydration. Her eyes were sunken in, lips were dry, skin coloration was very pale. Therefore, we took her to Lutheran ER..

Poor baby! The ER experience was actually not terrible, like all of the otherLutheran ER visits. They got us in and out after treating the problem...DEHYDRATION. Little O had to get an IV, which she did NOT like (who does?!), but it really helped her. They did a Chest X-Ray, but that came back clear (thankfully).

Today my little girl is back to herself, drinking plenty, playing with her toys, teasing our dog...I'd say she's back to good. She is complaining of her arm hurting, but thats bc of where the IV was. I just give it a kiss for her and she says. "Thanks Mommy!"

The gift of motherhood is priceless and I am so thankful that God gave me the opportunity to be a mommy!
