The Hospital

Last Friday Aubrey was very sick with the flu. On Saturday she started getting better but then on Monday she was sick again so we took her to the doctor and she said to just take it easy and call her in a few days if she was still sick. She was better during the day but then started throwing up again that night so on Tuesday Aubrey had a blood test and her sugar levels where extremely low so we had to take her to the Emergency room. It was so scary for us! They hooked her up with an IV which was the hardest thing we have ever had to watch. She was hooked up for about 45 min and then they ran more blood work and her sugar was going up but not as much as they would like and her CO2 levels where low so we had to stay the night in the hospital. The room was very nice and we were able to stay with her. They ran more tests Wednesday morning and everything was at the right levels. We finally where released at around 5pm yesterday. It was very scary and so sad watching her be poked all over. We are home now and Aubrey is doing MUCH better and playing like she was never sick. We are so thankful for all the happy thoughts from our family and friends and for the sweet care of all the nurses and doctors at the hospital.


The top three pictures are in the Emergency Room.

Playing in the play area right outside our room waiting for our paper work. She was so happy to get the IV out.

Yikes! That's scary, I definitely don't look forward to times like those. I'm glad she is doing much better! I like Lilly the Lamb, it's way cute!
