An unwanted Hospital Stay.

(this picture was taken today, Sophie's face is broken out and a little swollen. I just thought her little foot hanging out of her gown was precious!)

(this picture was taken Christmas day when she really started feeling lousy)

Sophie ended up having to be admitted into the hospital late Saturday night. She started running a fever and wheezing. We called the doctor and told him what was going on and his response was to get to the ER immediately! Not what you want to hear with a 3 week 6 day old baby!

We were in the ER for approximately 4 hours! until they finally got her a room. They diagnosed her with RSV and being dehydrated. She has been vomiting on and off from the drainage which she is still doing here and there. We pray that she doesn't get dehydrated again from this. She received some fluid, got a very unwanted I.V. (because of the dehydration), breathing treatments every 4 hours (which we are now having to continue here at home), received Robitussin every 4 hours (which is also being done at home), and from all this she now has a bad diaper rash and a yucky rash on her face! I would rather her have these rashes any day than RSV again! The doctor at the hospital said that it is most likely that she will get it again sometime in the next 2 years :(

She is feeling much better now. We are going back to the doctor tomorrow to get her checked out and see where we are in this healing process. Wish her luck!
