So we thought Quinn was on the mend...and then came this morning. She wasn't showing signs of being on the mend, in fact she was showing signs of dehydration, so a couple of convos with the doctor led to a trip to the E.R.
I'll start out by saying that our visit could have been much worse. But no parent enjoys rushing down I-235 after being told by their doc to take their 8-month-old to the emergency room for much-needed fluids. Our wait wasn't too bad and everyone on staff was very friendly (I've heard horror stories). And after some pokes and prods, they thought Quinn was doing alright -- no IV necessary. Phew! They wanted to rule out some other stuff so they did a test on our poor girl that was downright miserable, but she was a trooper through it all.
Three hours later our little one had taken down some fluids and kept them in, plus her test results were all okay so we were sent home. Double phew! That's when Quinn got to take a much-needed nap with her snuggly bunny. (And I got a much-needed shower!)
We're hoping for a better day tomorrow and appreciate you all who are thinking of our little button! She'll be back at 100% in no time!
That innocent little sad face says it all. Oh Quinn... (insert baby pouty voice)
ReplyDeletePoor Q, I hope she is doing better this weekend! That face in the first pic is such a "I am so happy I have my mama" moment.
