Amelia's 1st Hospital Visit


Amelia was just not herself on Tuesday morning and then from 6 am on, screamed bloody murder. I had school with Jeremy so Ryan took Amelia to the doctor and they sent us to the ER. Babies her age can't fight infection and because she had a fever, it was obvious her body was fighting something. Anyway, after a day in the ER where the poor little thing was poked and poked again, her white blood cell count came back high which meant she had an infection of some sort. Her and I were admitted Tuesday evening and just got released today. She was on IV antibiotics for 48 hours and all tests came back negative. Here she is getting antibiotic treatment on day #1! I will remind her of this scare often!

Yikes -- With the scariness and difficulty of Jeremy's birth, I thought you were destined for a drama-free baby this time around! I am so sorry little Amelia had to have an IV. She looks really healthy, IV in and all!
