Day 8

So we are on day 8. I still have no internet access, but my mom is holding Delaney so I can post a quick update on the playroom computer. She had 1 vomitting episode yesterday morning but no vomit since then! She is still having diarrhea with every stool. She is more awake now and is a lot less fussy. We are finally on the mend I think. She started zantac yesterday and according to D it tastes REALLY darn bad. We don't know yet if it is helping. She had some liver function blood work drawn today and we should know the results in a few hours. Tomorrow morning we should know if there is anything baterial in her stool that may be causing this stuff. I HOPE we can go home tomorrow afternoon/Monday, but we cant really go home when we are still in isolation and she's still having diarrhea.

I miss the internet. I miss my house. I miss Julia and Charlotte. I miss Max and Joey (the dogs). I miss going outside. I miss having a well baby. As much as I miss all of those things I cannot bring myself to leave Delaney for more than a few minutes to walk down the hall or get food downstairs. I'm just not ready to leave her with someone to go home and clean up and take a nap...I have my entire life to nap and shower in my own shower (I have showered people just in the hospital shower). I have right now to be there for my daughter while she is in the hospital. I keep thinking ten years from now I won't remember a two hour nap or a walk in the nice fresh air...I will remember not leaving my daughter's side while she was in the hospital sick. I want to remember that I didn't leave her except for a few minutes. I want to remember that I did everything I could for her... I am going to take a nap today while my mom is here watching buggy but I'll take that nap in the room. Don't worry all you readers...I am taking better care of myself. I am sleeping more (or trying to), I am asking for help, and I am getting out of the room a little bit (just like now to type this update). Thanks for the support and thoughts.
