A Very Sick Baby

There are most definitly no pictures today. Lilly woke up this morning still very fussy so Mom made her a doctor appt. for this afternoon at 3. Well, whenever Lilly woke up from her nap at about 1:00, she was burning up and her little cheeks were bright red. My mom took her temp. and when the thermometer said 103.8 we decided that the ER was our best decision. So we loaded up and headed down the hospital just in case. They took Lilly back and by that time her temp. was 104 even. I was freaking out!!! They were even going to take blood for testing but they couldn't get anything because she was dehydrated. They listened to her lungs and they didn't sound good so then we find out that she has bronchitis as well as an inner ear infection. POOR POOR BABY!
Once she was settled and her fever was down a little bit, we went in and just sat there with her for about 3 hours while she had an IV for the dehydration. She wanted us to hold her so bad, it was probably the saddest thing ever! We are home with her now and she just finished a breathing treatment and is getting ready to go to sleep. We are expecting a rough night...hopefully it will be descent.

Hopefully I will have pictures of the happy girl very soon!

Oh no. Poor Lilly. Having to take an infant to the hospital is so scary, and you feel so helpless. I am glad you did though. Dehydration can occur so fast. Hugs and kisses to that sweet little girl in hopes that she will feel much better soon.
