MY POOR, LITTLE HANNAH HAD TO SPEND THE NIGHT IN COOK CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. LIKE HER AUNT JESSICA, HANNAH GETS HORRIBLE STOMACH BUGS WHERE SHE CAN'T STOP THROWING UP.
~
MY LITTLE GIRL HAD BEEN THROWING UP SINCE SUNDAY AFTERNOON. SHE WAS EXTREMELY DEHYDRATED AND NEEDED TO BE ON A COCKTAIL OF IV FLUIDS. POOR THING WAS SO DEHYDRATED THAT THEY COULDN'T GET AN IV IN AFTER 4 TRIES.... ON EACH HAND!! AT ONE POINT THE NURSE PUNCTURED THROUGH HER VEIN. SHE WAS SO SICK THAT THE FIRST TIME THEY
STUCK HER SHE DIDN'T EVEN FLINCH. MY LITTLE GIRL, WHO IS VERY TALL, BUT VERY THIN (ONLY 30 LBS) LOST 5 POUNDS!! IN THE ER SHE WAS ONLY 25 LBS!! HER 1 YEAR OLD BROTHER
WEIGHS 22 LBS!! AFTER THE IV WAS IN SHE LOOKED AT ME AND CRIED, "MOMMY I WANT TO GO HOME PLEASE." I STARTED CRYING. SHE HAD TO GO AND BE ALL POLITE ABOUT SOMETHING I COULDN'T GIVE HER!! THE NEXT DAY SHE LOOKED AT HER ARM FOR A WHILE. THEN SHE LOOKED UP AT ME AND SAID, "I WANT THIS OFF NOW, OK?"
~
WELL NOW FOR SOME GOOD NEWS!! THEY SENT HER HOME (EVEN THOUGH SHE DID NOT EAT IN THE HOSPITAL) ONCE SHE WAS HYDRATED. SHE STILL DID NOT WANT TO EAT OR DRINK ONCE WE WERE HOME. BUT THIS MORNING, SHE HAD A CUP OF MILK AND A PIECE OF TOAST FOR BREAKFAST!! HER FIRST SINCE SATURDAY NIGHT!!
~
SHE STILL DOESN'T HAVE ANY ENERGY, BUT I'M HOPING THAT WILL PICK UP ONCE SHE EATS SOME MORE. IT WAS A VERY LONG WEEK, AND I AM SO THANKFUL THAT SHE SEEMS TO BE OUT OF THE WOODS. (SHE DID THROW UP AGAIN LAST NIGHT!)
~
JUST PRAY THAT SHE STARTS EATING AND THAT THE REST OF US DON'T CATCH WHAT SHE HAD.
LAST WEEKEND DANIEL, HANNAH, AND I TOOK A QUICK TRIP (YOU KNOW, 4HRS) DOWN TO SAN ANTONIO FOR A BIKE SHOW. WELL IT WASN'T REALLY FOR THE SHOW, BUT FOR WHO WAS THERE. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO WATCH THE AMERICAN CHOPPER SHOW, YOU WILL KNOW WHO THESE GUYS ARE. VINNIE AND CODY ACTUALLY BROKE AWAY FROM THE SHOW AND HAVE SINCE OPENED THEIR OWN BIKE SHOP. THEY WERE MAKING AN APPEARANCE IN SAN ANTONIO TO PROMOTE THE SHOP AND SHOW OFF THE BIKE THAT THEY ARE GOING TO BE GIVING AWAY. I HAVE BEEN A HUGE FAN OF VINNIE'S EVER SINCE I STARTED WATCHING THE SHOW LIKE4 OR 5 YEARS AGO. (VINNIE IS STANDING TO THE LEFT OF ME) IT WAS SO EXCITING FOR ME TO GET TO MEET SOMEONE I HAVE BEEN SUCH A HUGE FAN OF FOR SO LONG!! WE ACTUALLY GOT TO GO BACK BEHIND THEIR TABLE AND HANG OUT FOR ABOUT 1HR!! THEY SIGNED A NUMBER OF THINGS FOR US AND WERE MORE THAN WILLING TO TAKES PICTURES WITH US. THEY WERE THE NICEST GUYS YOU WILL EVER MEET. IT WAS A VERY FUN TRIP FOR THE THREE OF US TO TAKE TOGETHER (EXCEPT FOR SLEEPING IN THE TAHOE!!). WE DID MISS SWEET BEN THOUGH!!
