Thursdays Aren't Our Day!

Thursdays just haven't been good to us lately. They've been down right awful! Last thursday was our fall and concussion. This thursday was another very long day! It concluded at 1am after an ELEVEN hour ER visit to Texas Children's with Miss Riley!

My sister was watching the girls so I could run last minute Christmas errands and drop of gifts to some friends when Riley started throwing up. By the time I got her to our Pediatricians office, she was throwing up blood and bile. Scary! So we picked up Nana who was nice enough to come to the ER with us. Thank Heavens she did!




In the first couple hours we were there, they did exams and X rays and determined her GI track was seriously backed up and she had an inflamed tummy. After she kept a bottle down for 30 mins, we were happily discharged and sent home!

But not long after we had loaded up the car, Riley again threw up a ton of volume! I spoke to our ER doc and she wanted to see her again. So back into the ER we went, reluctantly. That lead to an extremely long night of trying to clean out her system, and giving her fluids and meds intravenously. But we didn't have much luck and at 12:30 we asked to be discharged.


We left, absolutely exhausted, knowing if her system didn't start working then we would have to return to the hospital on Saturday and be admitted over night. After a long Friday we were very blessed to be able to celebrate Christmas Eve at home today! We are all more then exhausted, amazed at all Riley has been through, and thankful to be home together!
