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!

How scary and sad! There is nothing worse than seeing your children in pain or suffering in any way and you just want to take it away from them! I am sooo glad that she is home and making improvement!
