What a month this has been!

So far the month of march has been hospital month for us. Kenadie was admitted to the hospital on March 6. She had gotten a stomach bug, when we took her to the er her numbers were crazy and the liver decided to throw a tantrum. So we stayed got fluids. On the 7th I proceeded to get sick in her room. Vomitted my little self up. Thank god for a script left from my hysterectomy to get me through the vomitting. The nurse was so sweet that night. He helped me alot. Ms sheshe (a close family friend) came up and saved my day too. She let me vomit and die in misery! lol. K did well but she would not tolerate her feeds for a few days. We lost many iv's and had many blood draws. The count came to about 21. She got discharged on friday afternoon about 6pm and we went home visited some family and went to bed. Saturday morning she woke up. Pale and tummy looked rather big. I knew that things weren't going to go well. We still went on with our day. Then at 7pm my husband calls me to say that she is vomitting. Crap! So I come home tell nurse C that to watch her if she vomits again we will go back. She vomitted again so we went back. They said she is not going anywhere. This time we had a full obstruction in her jajunem (sp?). So we weren't going anywhere fast. They called dallas to see what our gi wanted to do. Since ours was not on service it was a tossup of who would take care of us. Dr S wanted her down there but i have a feeling that Dr Salesman made his pitch so we could stay. We had to wait it out. It was not fun at all for kenadie. She loves to eat! So if you had something you had to leave her room. Dont even bring a drink in. It was not fair to her. We got moved to a big room and enjoyed our little "home". Well as much as you can. You learn to do what you have to do to make the best of it.

We made some special friends up on the ward. She has a rare child also. His name is Rich. Please keep him in your prayers that God will heal him or not let his intestines bleed for a very long time! He goes through quite a bit of blood! So donate people please! :) When you make a connection in the hospital you almost feel normal. Like your child is fine. They know the challenges that you face.

There was another situation that was brought up to me while in the hospital. My family member not dealing with kenadie's issues. Please know I wont do just peaches and cream news. I can't. I dont get it that way. It hurts that some can't accept her for what is going on. I may be wording it wrong as accepting but I know that they dont like to acknowledge what is going on. I have to face the music 24/7/365. Deal with the naysayers coughs her old pediatrician.. WHERE IS SHE NOW!!!!!!!! Sorry had to get that out. Then my 3yro alexus does not want to be at my house at all. She says its not my house she thinks granddads is her house. Its where she feel stability at. Genesis likes to be with us but come night time she doesn't. She wants to sleep somewhere else where she feels like wont change. Where are they when all of this is going on? OR just ask.. how are you guys doing?! Personally i thought family banded together when the rough times start going. Am i wrong for thinking that?!

On a personal note I passed 2/3 classes and completeing the other one this weekend. I am now in clinical labs, doing a&p, and college algebra. Most of my professors are very understanding and have taken a personal interest in kenadie. I just pray I can do this and I dont get taken off the right track!
