Amelia's Hospital Trip...



We had a trip to the emergency room with Amelia on Tuesday night. After waking up with croup on Monday, she never really bounced back. She was lathargic and wanted to sleep constantly. On Tuesday, we went to the walk-in clinic. She ended up with pneumonia. In the ER, she had an IV to get her re-hydrated and spent the night on antibiotics. Thankfully, she is a trooper and came home Wednesday afternoon. She is slowly recovering at home.


Calla was so concerned for her little sister. The night in the ER she asked a bazillion questions. She spent lots of time next to Amelia holding her hand. She wanted to be as near to her as possible. Calla loves her sister.
On a positive note, Amelia got to eat several popsicles. She didn't have to worry about being neat either. She made a mess of herself and the sheets. She was such a trooper. She and I had quite a night. She would wkae up so afraid and we'd take a walk through the halls, IV cart in hand, and she'd calm right down. Things could have been a lot worse, but God is always in control. He is so good.

Sorry to hear about the hospital stay! I remember our stay with Ashlynn! I think it is harder on the parents...thank the Lord for popsicles!
Hope you all are doing well now! Kari
