today is a new day! d woke up looking and feeling remarkably better and her blood draw proved it. her levels are still lower than normal, but the doctor is confident that we are out of the woods on the dehydration issue. praise God!
we will continue with some tests to check for a bacterial infection that could trigger a seizure if it exists and also follow up with a neurologist for some other testing, but we can breathe a bit easier knowing that a hospitalization is not in our immediate future.
and so today we feel a bit more refreshed. i would also like to point out that our second babe is again a rock star. she went in to her blood draw knowing what to expect and still did not shed a single tear. so long as a lollipop was in her future, she was game for anything. amazing! she was also adamant that she not have a brown band aid like she did yesterday, so this momma was happy to stock her handbag with some barbies and doras to keep a smile on her little face. one dora later and d was all smiles. ah- my sweet, opinionated delaney!
Talked to Kristie this morning and she filled me in on your situation. Tasha, you are a superstar. I can't believe all that is being hurled at you - literally. I miss you and will continue to pray for you and the kids and Scott. I think a family vaca is in order after this is all said and done.
