Re: not a happy day - Chrissy

Hey Chrissy,

I'm so sorry to hear that you have to stay longer. I know how we felt when B

was there, and we were anxious to get home. Just know that it's for the

best, and when this is all behind you, it won't seem as bad as it does now.

You're both in my thoughts and prayers. Hopefully this whole ordeal will end

soon!

HUGS!!!

PS - just got out of the hospital Tuesday, and he's heading back to

the ER as I type! He vomiting, so that usually means a 48-72 hour stay at

minimum.

Thanks Chrissy,

With all that you and Maddy are going through, this really isn't all that

bad. When B starts vomiting, we take him into the ER, insist on a D10 IV and

removal of all feeds for 24 hours, then slowly restart feeds. For some

reason this seems to reset his system.

The last time I took him in for vomiting, the Dr spent the first 36+ hours

putting me on a major guilt trip about the protocol, acting like I was

starving the kid for NO reason, UNTIL it worked!! Then she was all

apologetic, and telling me how we should have this written out because it's

not the " normal " way of doing things. I was like " whatever " !!

Hopefully his mother won't get hassled about the protocol. And I would love

to go there, at least Dr H wouldn't be arguing about the protocol for

vomiting! LOL

HUGS!!
