Last week (06-21/06-23) Harper was admitted to The Childrens Hospital. As many of you know, she has horrible acid reflux. On Monday, she was very fussy and refused to take her bottles. I kept thinking she is eventually going to get hungry and eat. Well she never did. Monday night I called after hours and the nurse told us to go ahead and go to Childrens. They tried to get her to take a bottle again and she refused it. They took xrays of her stomach, which came back normal. After the doctor came in and did his assessment, he said that she was dehydrated and she needed to have blood work drawn and an IV started. She was so dehydrated that she did not have any good veins. It took the nurses 7 times to finally get it started. She started taking her bottle on Tuesday and we got to go home on Wednesday. The doctors said that she had esophagitis and started her on a new medicine to coat her esophagus. She is feeling much better now and we are just hoping she grows out of this soon!
Getting ready to come home!
