Back from the hospital....
So for those that don't already now we were in the hospital with Sophia all week. I took her to the Dr. on Monday for her to be treated for thrush and we realized she was feeling really hot. Her temp was 99.7 and the Dr. sent us home and just said to monitor her and take her to ER if she went over 100. Once we got home her temp was 100.5 and off to ER we went. We got there around 4pm on Monday and didn't realize what a long week we were in for. They started running lots of tests on her. They did blood work, Xray, urine sample (with a catheter), and did a spinal on her. It was all horrible. They had to do a spinal twice because the first one didn't work. She was so stressed and crying so hard that her head broke out in a rash of all these little blood vessels. We were there until 4am and then the ambulance came and took us over to CHOC (Children's hospital of Orange County.) We were admitted there and just finally got back home. She was hooked up to iv's and monitor's and was being flushed with 3 different kinds of antibiotics. They were running all the tests to rule out the serious problems that it could possibly be. At first they thought it was a urinary tract infection, then they thought it was meningitis. We finally got the results today and everything was negative. They said she probably just had some viral infection and the meds she was on flushed it out of her system. She was such a trooper and continued to be my smiling happy baby through it all. I was a mess in the beginning, but seemed to hold it together all in all. I never want to have to got through that again or have her go through that again. So thank you all for your prayers and calls. Sophia is now laying with Daddy and very happy to be home.
