Thank you for all of your prayers today. As most of you know we've had a heck of a week. After 8 days of vomiting, 3 doctors visits and 2 trips to the emergency room, Addison has been admitted to the hospital for a viral infection. It's a relief to be here, to be honest. The doctors and nursing staff have been amazing. Thank you Lord, for their wisdom and gentle touch. Our pediatric nurse even prayed over Addi this afternoon. What a blessing. I tried my best to hold back the tears. Thank you Lord, for your presence. Addi has been on an IV since noon and has made it almost 9 hours without throwing up. (FYI. if your kid ever needs an IV, go through the hand. If you do the arm, they can't bend their elbow, which is HORRIBLE for a thumb-sucker. and if they go through the foot, they can't walk around). We learned this the hard way.
Addi is asleep now and we're hoping to make it through the night with no episodes. They'll take her off medicine tomorrow to see if she can hold down food on her own. If not, we'll probably have to stay another night. So that's our prayer for now. Thank you for all of your phone calls, texts, and visits. We are so blessed to have such wonderful family and friends lifting Addi up in prayer! We love you all!
