Well little Ava was throwing up this past weekend starting with at Church. She got it all over the floor and then decided to dress daddy up with it too. It continued through the weekend and I felt that she needed to go into the doctors today. I had my mom take her in and they diagnosed her with Gastroenteritis. Its an inflammation of the intestines. They told us that if she didn't have a wet diaper by 3 that she needed to go into the hospital.
As 3 o'clock rolled on through there was still no sign of urine and so we made our way to the hospital. We got right in and they took her back and tried to get an IV going but her veins were too small to find them. They concluded that she was a moderate severity of dehydration and just gave her oral hydration, but David and I have to get her up every 2 hours and give her enfalyte. She is already doing much better, but it was very hard watching them pin her down to a hospital bed and take blood from her little body.
