7 Months Old and Sick!

Indie has had a rough couple of days! She is 7 months old today, and sick with a cold. Saturday she also had to spend an exhausting 5 hours in the ER. She threw up 6 times in an hour (projectile throw up), so we called the advice nurse, and she told us to head to Kapiolani ER. Off we went. They gave her an IV, took her blood, monitored her oxygen levels, checked her electrolytes, did some x-rays and found out that she was REALLY constipated! They gave her a suppository, which cleared her out, and we were sent home. 



I was so relieved that they figured out the problem and solved it, and that it was not something serious. Being in the ER with a baby sure was exhausting. I thought a lot about all the parents who have children with chronic illnesses, that have to spend a lot of time in a hospital, and it made me so grateful that Indie is healthy (well, not right now). Hopefully she will be back to her smily self soon, but for now this is how she feels:

wow, poor bebe! that is so sad! who would have guessed that throwing up meant she was constipated? guess it has to come out one end or the other! i never thought they would have little hospital gowns so small either, they are sort of really cute!
hope she is better soon!

She is soooo sweet. I love her. I'm glad she's doing better. I must say that baby hospital gown is quite cute, but I would never want to see one on my baby.
