So NOT fun.

The Girl has been sick. Like 15 diapers or more a day sick. EW!! And we are out of town. Called the ped dr on Wed she said to just make sure she drinks plenty of fluids, try to get her to eat starchy food, cut the dose of the meds that I gave you on Monday for her ears in 1/2... blah blah blah. Yesterday we called her again, no change, what do we do? "Go to the ER" AAAACCCCKKKKK!!!! Sooooooooooo we go, and wait for 2 hours and in those 2 hours have 4 diaper changes. FINALLY get to see the ped er dr and they say the meds are tearing her up inside and she is dehydrated. So they said they'd give her some saline and a new med for her ears. 1st of all, I don't even look when I take my dogs in to get their shots. Poor C had to practically lay on The Girl to keep her down while they searched for a vein. I'm leaning against the wall focusing on taking pictures with my phone b/c that helped me not focus on what they were doing to my daughter. They finally get the needle in and the vein blows. That is when I had to walk out of the room. After much screaming by the girl and much hair pulling and big sighs and tears from me, they find a TINY needle and a vein that they can get it in in her thumb. When about 1/2 the bag of saline was in her she really started to perk up, that's when we had a lot of hospital staff coming in to peek at her and play with her and remark "awww all we had to do was water her and she blossoms like a flower" (GAG!) She even did her tricks; which by the way my favorite is when you ask her what a beatle says, she answers "Yeah, yeah, yeah" (as in 'she loves me yeah yeah yeah')
We got to leave around 9pm and headed to our friends house, where we are staying, where they we also hosting a party for us and another couple that had come back to town for the holiday, to visit with everyone. We arrived fashionably 2 1/2 hours late. ;) I had SO MUCH FUN playing cards, pictionary man, and chatting with our friends... gonna make me HATE leaving them all again. Visits are fun but so hard too.
All in all, Thanksgiving was nice, the food was great, I enjoyed the company of my friends, but C and The Girl should have been feeling better. C woke up on Tday morning with some kind of stomach virus, he managed to come up stairs for about an hour, but then went back downstairs and slept for a few hours.
We are heading to St. Louis today to go see my 'adopted family'. Hopefully, no one will be or get sick!

OH yeah, after all the excitement of last night, the girl didn't go to sleep until almost 3am!!!! We are one set of tired parents today!!!


When we get back home I'll be able to download my pictures from my phone so you can see how FUN it was at the hospital!
