I just wanted to take a second & thank everyone for all of your prayers & well wishes in regards to Kayla. She is now home & out of the hospital... which we are so grateful for. TODDLERS + hospitals, LETS JUST SAY not a good combo. This morning she finally ate a WHOLE bowl of oatmeal which was her first REAL meal since last Thursday night; so YEA hopefully we are on the uppity-up!
For those who don't know what happened Kayla started getting sick last Friday morning & by Saturday was so bad off that we had to take her to the local Cooks hospital & then she was transferred to the big Cooks in downtown Ft. Worth. J took a flight home first thing Sunday AM (we didn't get transferred till 10pm Sat. night...) After lots of pokes, IV's, blood work, x-rays, CT's... turns out she had a VERY BAD case of the rotavirus. On Monday she still wasn't eaten much at all & was drinking a little more then the previous days so they decided to take her IV out & send us home being they thought she would get better quicker at home. The first couple days home she still wouldn't eat much but was drinking a lot MORE. We were thankful for this being we didn't want to go back to Cooks... We were still having the diarrhea/dry-heave episodes but she was DRINKING, so this was a step in the right direction. Then this AM she ate a WHOLE bowl of oatmeal & is asking for more; so YEA our prayers are being answered. She is GETTING HER APPETITE BACK with-out any side effects!!!
It's amazing how GOD gives you the strength during these times being I only slept about 4 hours in 48, I have NO CLUE how I stayed so strong... Watching your little angel get poked, prodded, sent away in an ambulance is so incredibly sad & I hope to never go thru this again. I know some of you have been through this many~many times & to you I have WHOLE NEW RESPECT & gratitude on just how strong you truly are!!!
I also want to THANK DANA for being there for us until J could arrive... man I TRULY WOULD HAVE NO CLUE what I would of done with out her there she was by far the ROCK during all the TOUGH TIMES IN THE BEGINNING. Thank you & I love you.... In closing thank you again to EVERYONE for all of your prayers, well wishes, love, care & dinners during this difficult time. We are forever blessed & grateful to have such amazing friends, family & LOVED ONES who dropped everything to listen to me cry, give me advice & to just Pray for our family! Again THANK YOU & we love you all!
