to the hospital we go


Friday, September 16, 2011

Can you guess where we were last night? The ER for a fever bouncing from 102-104. It was awful. Let me say that there is nothing worse than having a nurse gag your child with medicine, telling you that "you think you're choking them but you're not" and then having Ev hurl it all up. I got put into a hospital gown because how drenched with vomit I got, if that gives you any idea of how the nurse WASNT choking my baby. Even worse - trying to stick a catheter in a 7 month old baby - TWICE but failed. oh, it was awful. I felt so so bad for my little girl, but I think Jared was the most upset. I can't wait to see what the bill is going to be for the motrin they gave her. What would have cost us $8 in the drug store is probably going to be an arm and a leg. I don't even want to think about it. The numbers make me sick. I so regret taking her in, but I was a new mom freaking out.

  2. Awww... poor sweeties (mommy and baby!). My babies always get high fevers. It stresses me out as well. I hope she's feeling better.

  3. I'm sorry kendra, that's terrible! McKay got a really high fever like that when he was teething. It's the worst feeling in the world to have a baby not feeling well.

  4. Sick babies are the worst! They are so helpless and can't communicate enough to tell you how bad they are feeling. It breaks my heart everytime.

    Give Evie lots of snuggles today and I hope she get's better ASAP!
