Paranoia...

I am probably the most paranoid mom out there. Especially with Kaia. I think part of it stems from being told that I was going to miscarry right after we found out I was pregnant. The whole pregnancy I worried I wasn't going to bring her home from the hospital. It has gotten better, but I still worry a lot. Kaia has been sick with some nasty stomach virus since early Thursday morning. She has lost almost 2 pounds from all the puking and pooping that has been going on. On Saturday, she was looking really bad. Her eyes were sunken in and had black circles under them, she was really pale, and just not looking good at all. We decided to take her to the emergency room. They told us that she was okay, and probably at the tail end of whatever it was she had. Just keep her hydrated. We did the best we could. Everything we gave her came right back at us. Last night Mike decided to call our awesome neighbor, Larry Gay, to come give her a blessing. He came right over with Spencer and they gave her a blessing. She went right to sleep and slept really good until about 7:00 this morning. She still wasn't tolerating fluids at all. Now Mike is the one that told me to take her to the ER. If Mike is worried it's bad. I hurried and got dressed and took her in. The nurse took her vitals and went and talked to the doctor. He immediately ordered some blood tests and an IV. They had to have a urine sample. In order to get this they had to do a catheter. She was not happy about that. All the blood work came back normal. They put in the IV to get her rehydrated. She wasn't dehydrated too bad, but it was still hard to get the IV in. We were there for about 2 and 1/2 hours. Her color is coming back, her eyes aren't quite as sunken in, and the dark circles have lightened a little. She is actually moving around and making noises and smiling now. I think she is finally on the mend. Here are some pictures of her that I took while she's been sick.
