We like you but we really don't want to see you again

I awoke Tuesday morning...

"Oh shit! 102.2f, we have to take Baby C back to the ER".

"I'll pack my bags, you get her ready."

We like the nurses and doctors and technicians at Children's.
And they like baby C, but we really didn't want to see them again so soon.
And to be honest, as much as they like baby C, they really didn't want to see her again under these circumstances.

"I can't do this again!"

"I've got a call into your mom and I've asked her to come up and help us this week"

This time they put us in a part of the floor under the watch of a dedicated Pediatrician vs. a group of residents as happened last week.

One day to watch her "trends". High white cell counts.

Lots of tests today.

Blood work.

Urine cultures.

Nose swabs.

Heart scans.

Infectious disease specialists.

MRI.

The MRI found the problem.

A large pocket of fluid, infection, on her right side on her abdomen...

Surgery is scheduled for tomorrow.
Until then, it's IV fluids and no formula till after surgery...

Don't mess up her chances to be a swim suit model!!

sigh....

Thank you Children's for helping our baby girl!

(And thank goodness we go her covered by insurance... more about that later).

Sleep well Zelda.

Quite unfortunate that the baby and you and your wife have to go through this stress!
