Megyn was admitted to Saint Francis Children's Hospital in Tulsa, OK on July 6. 2010. She was running a fever, throwing up, was only taking 1/2 oz at her feedings which were every 5 to 6 hours. To me I knew this wasn't right and kept on the doctor until going to Tulsa Pediatrics Ergent Care. The doctor there admitted her right away.
The testing was the hardest on her, mommy and daddy. They did a lumbar puncture, took blood and did a UA. They also cultured the test to see if anything grew in them.We were told we could go home in 48 hours if nothing grew. Well ... something grew, she has two different types of bacteria in her urine!!! She has a UTI but you wouldn't think that that would cause her to feel so BAD!!! They ran a few other test to see why she has a UTI bacause it is uncommon for a baby this young to have one.
We are now on day seven and should get to go home on Saturday, July 16. It will be nice to be back in our apartment and in our beds and have the family all together again. Megyn is perking up and feeling much better we think.
On Friday night we had them weigh her and she gained 5 oz in just two days after having the antibiotics. I can't wait to see what she has gained the whole time. She has also started eating 2 1/2 to 3 oz every time she eats. She is also more alert and seems to like to watch television. She still has her cast on and we will get those removed and have new ones put on as soon as we get out of here.
We would like to thank every one for your support, love, kindness, time, prayers, gifts, food and friendship. We are blessed to have such wonderful people in our lives and couldn't ask for more.
