Could use some extra knee work. Got a call this morning that grandbaby is in the hospital with dehydration, severe diarrhea, and projectile vomiting. Sounds like a bad case of rotavirus (she got her rotavirus shot last week and has had these symtoms ever since). As of right now, none of the tests are showing anything. More to come in the morning. Right now they're just trying to keep her hydrated with ringer's solution. She's lost about a half pound since her last weigh-in two weeks ago. When you're only 8-1/2 pounds, that's a lot.

Update - She was up and playful and suppose to go home Wednesday. While waiting for them to bring the discharge papers to sign, mommy gave her a bottle. It came right back up. They're spending a third night in hospital.

If they have had her on antibiotics she will need to go on pro-biotics and an oral electrolyte for a while. They ought to know that! Else she will not be able to digest anything or keep it down.

Druther she stay an extra day and be certain she's healed than send her home to early and just have to turn around and go back. Still praying for the little one....

No antibiotics. Just 3 days of ringer's. Did upper and lower GI, blood work up, stool samples, ultrasound and xrays. Couldn't find anything. So they sent her home this morning with a script for prilosec and recommendation to add rice cereal to her formula. I had Lana relay some of my suggestions to the nurses while we were on the phone. Guess I'm too old fasioned to be raising babies now. Sterilizing bottles & nipples, warming bottles (not serving ice cold from the fridge), and washing all bedding/toys/clothing in Lysol solution before using them, are just not being taught or reconized now. Heck, I do that much even for my critters.

I been praying steadily Faith, since I found this post on Facebook earlier this evening... You know I am asking the Father for a fast healing for the child; I can only imagine how worried you must be... Get your rest and put your faith in the Lord, Faith. Ya need me for anything at all, Sister, I'm here for you!

Appears that everthing was a combination of bad reaction to the rotavirus vaccine and gastro reflux. Haven't heard too much out of any of them. So don't have much more than that.

Tell them to get an application for a free phone. Ohio and WVA both offer them.

Phones they are not shy on. In fact, I think between all of them, they have 2 free Obummer lines, a pay as you go phone and 3 cells with all the bells and whistles. They just aren't talking to ME. BTW - Just got word that Rob and Jess are going to have a boy. ;D Maybe as soon as mid-August! But other than that, they aren't talking to me either. Apparently she and her mom think I'm the nastiest, most spiteful and hateful person to ever set foot on God's green earth. He77 I don't even know them. We'll just leave it at that.

Well guess just which one of your daughters in law has been running her mouth. Thanks for the scoop. Oh well. If that's what makes them feel good. I just stay here and play in the dirt with my chickies, do a lot of meditation and praying over it, and try not to let it get to me. Just wish that since they all have totally have me blocked from all their social pages that a few good people who have known me for awhile back me up and put their foot down. While I won't put up with nonsense, I really don't have a mean spirited bone in my body. Guess I'll have to wait for the Lord to do that though.

Merely supposition Faith. Anyway, it'll all even out.
