I don't know how I went almost an entire year with 2 very preemie babies without any colds or illnesses. I'm sure making up for it. Last night, Lilly and I spent the evening in the ER. She has been having some GI stuff again. She started not eating so well last week, after she had been doing fantastic. Then over the weekend she stopped drinking her bottles. Took her to pediatrician yesterday and they couldn't find anything specific wrong. No fever, only a little diarrhea. She is cutting some new teeth, so possibly she just hurts. Well we went to Julian's game and she threw up the bottle she took 3 hrs earlier, and had only had 2 oz earlier that morning. She had not had a wet diaper all day, so they recommended we go back to ER for some hydration. 3 hrs sitting in a waiting room is not fun, but finally got back and they did think she needed a iv for some fluids. So now we are just trying to keep her hydrated so she doesn't need that again. And, I pray really hard that she will get over whatever is wrong and she will resume where she left off. It was sooo nice to watch her eat and actually want to eat. Little things to be thankful for.
When I was pregnant, and her condition she had, they worried about her non-essential organs not being perfused as well. Then at only 2 lbs, her gut was the big concern, on how she would digest food. It really has been our only problem, but at times is a really big problem. I don't know if her little system still isn't mature enough to handle the little things that most people wouldn't be bothered by.
Pray that we can stay out of the ER for a while. That is one place I really don't want to be a regular.
