Back Again

In the evening of Sunday, April 29th, I took Azrielle in to the ER. She was not eating, having a hard time breathing, was running a high temperature, and was very lethargic. I had a friend, she had come over to play games, go with me. I was glad Karen was with me, it was very busy and it was hours before we got back in a room to see a Dr. After examining her, they did chest x-rays and put in an IV. They wanted to keep her for further observation also.

Karen drove my car home and left me at 1:45am. Azrielle pulled out her first IV within the first two hours, they put in another in her left hand. We finally got transferred up to our room by 3:30 am. By the time the nurses had done their vitals and the Dr.'s had come in to see her it was after 4:30 am. I was not expecting to stay the night and had not taken anything with me. Someone brought me throwaway scrubs for pj's, except there were two sets of bottom's, it was the thought that counts! I got a toothbrush and toothpaste and about 2 hours of sleep before they came in to take more labs in the morning.

 Azrielle did a lot of sleeping while we were there, you would think that I would have gotten some too, but that was not the case.
Jeremy and Avery came and surprised me on Monday morning, Happy Birthday Jeremy! They came with clean clothes and cheerful smiles. Azrielle even came out of her stupor a bit while they were there.

 This is what she looked like most of the time that she was awake while in the hospital. Every time someone new saw her I would have to explain that the bruise on her forehead was caused by her starting to pull up on everything. She had slipped and fallen on the stool in the bathroom.

We got to come home on Tuesday evening. On Thursday, when I was at her follow up appointment, she had a rash all over her trunk and up on to her head.
She is gaining weight, this last Monday, she weighed in at 12 lbs 5 oz. She is in the 50% of weight for a 3 month old, she just turned 9 months on May 4th.
