Amy in hospital

This evening, Amy threw up, despite the syrup—first just a little bit, and then for real. That took matters out of our hands and we decided to take her to hospital. (Which was kind of good, in a way—since she was so uninterested in drinking and would only drink a little bit at a time, Stella would probably have had to wake her up every quarter of an hour or so and coax her to drink a bit more. With an IV, she'll probably get hydrated a lot quicker than that.)

Fortunately, Thomas was so kind as to drive us there again. I waited there with Thomas, Stella, and Amy for a bit, but when it appeared that it could take quite a while (there were about four children there, and one person said he'd been waiting for an hour, and there seemed to be not nearly enough staff on the night shift to handle the volume), I decided to leave since there wasn't really a lot I could do. Stella stayed there, both to check Amy in and to see whether she could stay the night there as well.

I hope they'll both be fine.

Poor little baby! Hopefully all turns out ok for the three of you. I still need to send you that card again. It got returned to us because we were two cents short on postage. A-holes. :P Keep us posted!

Two cents? Wow. Bean counters.

Keep us posted!

Yep.

*hugs* Thinking of you guys. It's so scary when you feel that helpless with a sick kid.

Yes, it is.

She was getting thinner and thinner and we just didn't know what we could do to help her. It's tough.

Thank you.

:( I hope she gets better soon.

Thanks - so do I.

I guess in a way I'm glad that now she's with people who have a bit more experience with caring for sick children. But I'm still worried.

Poor Amy!

I hope Stella got checked in together with Amy and can stay with her all the time.

I am glad I got a bed in Frederick's room when he had to stay in hospital with pneumonia.

Best wishes for all of you!

Poor little sweetie!

I hope she gets better quickly, and I'm sure she'll be fine in the end!
