My Poor Sick Girl!

Well it has been quite a week here! I should say month. Two weeks ago I was in the ER getting my foot fixed and I guess Ashley got thought she wants a chance!

On Tuesday night Tyler and I were getting dinner together before he had to leave for class. I realized I did have something needed to finish dinner. Tyler ran to the store (which is across the street and I think he even walked). Ashley was in her walker and she started to laugh. I looked down and she was covered in throw up and was playing it. Not just a little amount, covered in it. I grabbed her and took her cloths off. By the time I got her shirt off she began to throw up some more. I am so glad now that we have tile floors down stairs. She also had a fever so I rushed her upstairs and put her in a cool bath. So Tyler came home to throw up everywhere in the kitchen. This whole time Ashley was laughing except when throwing up she did cry than. I got her out of the bath and thought she most have ate something that did not agree with her little belly. And the throwing up began again, and again for about 45 min and she began to dry heaves. Tyler and I decided to take to the children hospital because of the amount she had been throwing up.
By the time we got to the hospital it was all smiles and she was laughing. I almost wanted to go home 2 times. The Dr. came in and did some tests and said well your daughter had a UTI. ( Urinary Tract Infection) They gave her a shot and some meds. UTI are not common in babies this young. We were at the ER until about 1am getting all the test done. We followed up with her doctor the next day and more tests will begin in a couple weeks. They are going to check and see if she is having liver or kidney problems. UTI in babies this young can be a sign of something else. So I am hoping and praying it is nothing and she will take her meds and that is all and everything will be fine.
She is still a great baby. She still laughs and sleeps all night. She does not even act sick(beside the pain and diarrhea) Poor thing. And the Meds are so nasty smelling so I am sure they do not taste that great.
We will be updating every one when we have more tests done!

Poor little thing! Hopefully it just ends up being a one time thing and nothing big.
