Reagan is doing much better and we are finally home. I still haven't slept since 7am yesterday morning. I couldnt sleep with everything going on with reagan. Yesterday afternoon she started to get a little lethargic and just not acting like herself. I layed her down for her nap and just kept an eye on her. When she woke up she was very crabby/needy and just wasnt acting normal. We left to go pick dave up from work and she started puking in the car. I almost puked with her *gag* and this went on for another hour. When we got home she puked a few more times and I made the decision to take her back to the er.
We got to the er and she puked there 2x while we were in triage. They got her a bed and was going to start an iv with fluids and get blood from her. They wrapped her like a burrito with a blanket and kept one arm out. When the dr poked her with the needle, she barely flinched. Right then and there we knew something was not right with her. Even I flinch and cringe when I get blood taken or an iv in. We got 2 bags of fluid in and they gave her another CT Scan to make sure there were no brain bleeds. After the ct we were told we were going to be transfered to MSJ by ambulance because Mercy Folsom doesnt have a Pediatric Floor. So at 3:15am we were off in the ambulance.
We got to MSJ around 3:30am and got her in her room and hooked up to another fluid bag. The crib/animal cage that i was suppose to get her to sleep in, she was NOT having it. Finally after sitting in the chair for a good hour, she fell asleep and I got her into the crib. About 20 minutes later the dr came in and asked me a shitload of questions and what our plan of care would be. Reagan woke up and we tried giving her fluids but no such luck. The offered her 3 different types of popsicles and finally she started to eat a few bites of her popsicle. She had a total of 3 bags before wegot a wet diaper but all that matters is that we got a wet diaper!!! Things started to get better from there...
My IL's came up to the hospital along with my friend amanda and shannon. We took her to the little play room and she played for a little bit and then around 11 she crashed. She was so tired. The dr saw her playing and walking around and was very impressed with her. Around 2:30 the dr came in and told me that when she wakes up, she will evaluate her again and if she is doing good they will let us go. Reagan woke up about 3 and dr saw her and told us that she was starting to get the discharge papers in order. At 3:45 we were walking out the door of the hospital... We were FREE!!!!!
The dr said that this could have been a side effect of the concussion, a flu bug that she caught or she might have ate something that her tummy didnt agree with. But if she starts acting different and vomiting again, then we have to get an mri done. Im pretty sure I missed some parts but I havent slept since 7am yesterday morning... Im super tired and cant wait till bed time!
Thank you all for yout thoughts and prayers for Reagan!!
