My poor little Laycee. She has spent a lot of time in the hospital and even more time hooked up to ivs in her short little life. Here is a tidbit about Laycee. She is as feisty as they come and she will fight and fight until she just shuts down. Her body is the same, it will fight and fight, but sometimes it just gives up fighting. So, when she gets sick, she will fight until she just cannot fight anymore. And then, she ends up like this.
Thankfully this time, it was just a short 5 hr trip proceeded by many hours at the drs office. She got the local stomach virus. Which is nothing for most people. But then she got a fever. She can only fight one thing at a time. Well, that complication leads to dehydration. Thankfully the pediatrician is AMAZING and knew the beginning signs so we really caught her before this 5 hr trip turned into and extended stay (which has happened).
And her favorite part... not the IV, but the popcicle they gave her to see if she could finally keep food down. For the next few days, she continued to have troubles, but with the meds we were able to nurse her back to health... only for her to pass the virus to the rest of us, yuck!
