Long Weekend!!

Both of our babies were sick this weekend!!! The caught a stomach bug that was going around. Reagan had it first and we had to take her to the emergency room on Thursday night. We went about 12 hours without a wet diaper and I was worried she was getting dehydrated. They were able to give her medicine that allowed her to drink enough that she didn't have to get an IV. She was real congested so they did a chest XRay that came back fine. We were only there 2 hours.

Rylie was next and we took her to the ER on Saturday night. She had not gone to the bathroom in about 12 hours. I was hoping we took her early enough that she wouldn't have to get an IV, but that wasn't the case. Her heart rate was 190 and they said it was because she was really dehydrated that it was so high and so they admitted her. Unfortunately she had to get IV fluids. She cried for about 5 minutes after they stuck her. When the anti-nausea medicine kicked in her spirits improved and she ate 12 crackers!! She hadn't had anything to eat & drink in almost 24 hours so I was really excited. 5 hours later we left!!!

They are both happy & healthy now. Hopefully we are done and it won't keep passing back & forth. If I can ever remember to brink my flash drive with all my pictures to work, I will post pictures. Hopefully next Thursday I'll remember!!!
