A Trip to the ER

We just got home from the ER in Huntington. Alea has come home with us praise the Lord. When we first got there, we thought they were going to admit her for dehydration. They immediately hooked her up to IV fluids and took bloodwork and X-rays. She is somewhat dehydrated, but not as bad as they feared. They had a VERY difficult time getting a vein for IV and bloodwork, but finally they prevailed. She has bronchitus. They pumped her with fluids and let us come home. She is on antibiotic for infection, cough medicine, breathing treatments and a suppository for vomitting. We are to give her only juice and pedialite for 24 hours and see the pediatrician on Tuesday unless condition worsens. Hopefully fever will start to come down now that she is hydrated.

Please pray that she sleeps tonight. It has been almost 24 hours with no sleep for her little body and mommy and daddy's very tired bodies!!!

Thanks for praying. Braylen seems to be doing better. She is quite concerned for Alea though, but had fun staying with the VanDuynes while we went to ER. Thanks Kevin and Jill for keeping her!!!
