11 Weeks Old

Last week was a rough week. Sydney started out with a cold and ended up getting a nasty virus. She started throwing up on Monday after her nap and couldn't keep anything down all day Tuesday. We took her to the doctor Tuesday afternoon and found out she had an ear infection, but they didn't seem to concerned about anything else. When she couldn't keep her dinner down we decided we needed to take her to urgent care as she was getting really dehydrated. Unfortunately, there were no urgent cares open so we ended up taking her to the Children's ER. They initially thought that she could just take in one bag of fluids via the IV and go home, but after checking her levels in her blood they decided it would be best if she was admitted and stayed overnight. Josh stayed with us until our room was almost ready and then he went home to be with Lexi. Sydney was a trooper and did so well with all the poking and prodding, when she woke up in the morning her IV had came out so we decided to try to get her to take fluids orally. After her afternoon nap she had a popsicle and some pudding and they thought she would be okay to go home. She didn't want to eat dinner once we got home, but we were able to get her to eat some ice cream. We thought we were in the clear, but then she got sick again overnight and again on Wednesday right before she went down for her nap, so we ended up back at the doctor on Wednesday afternoon. I got a RX for zofran to help keep her food and fluids in and luckily that seemed to help and she started feeling much better by Friday. Lexi started getting a nasty cold on Thursday with a really rough cough, we thought she may be coming down with the same virus, but luckily she started to get better Christmas Eve.
