I am humbled by all of your sweet comments to our family. My mother is taking her lunch break to give me a little break. I don't have much time but here it goes:
*Yesterday morning ME's doctor called to say that it was indeed a kidney infection. If she didn't run a fever and stayed hydrated, she would have been able to stay home. I had to run up at 2 p.m. to get her antibiotic shot.
*When I went by at 2, the nurse took one look at ME and said that the dr. needed to see her. She was white as a ghost and not having wet diapers.
*After we got to the hospital, ME had to go in to get an IV. They took her down the hall to do the procedure. I heard every bit of the 25 minutes it took to get the IV in. I asked the nurse if everything went ok and she said it did although she was sweating! I hope I never have to hear that again.
*Bryon took Thomas down to meet his parents half way to Houston so he could hang out with my inlaws and I wouldn't have to worry about finding someone to watch him. What a blessing!
*ME was as good as gold last night, but I still ended up only sleeping about 2 hours. She wouldn't sleep in the crib, so she slept with me.
*Dr. reports that her white counts are going down, but she is anemic. That would explain her paleness.
*We have been so baffled by her health the last few weeks. She would have a fever at night, then be fine for a few days, then have a fever again, then nothing for a week, etc. Dr. thinks that she was fighting off a bladder infection but it finally got the better of her last weekend. I am ready to have my happy little girl back!
*We should be leaving tonight or tomorrow. Thank you again for your prayers and well wishes. I will keep you updated.

Thanks for the update. We continue our prayers for quick recovery... and good nights sleep.
Thanks for updating. I have been worried about little ME. Still praying.
Glad to hear you'll be going home soon. Can't imagine a baby in the hospital -- no fun for anyone!
Hope you are doing better and will all be home tonight to get some much needed rest. We are thinking about you!
They made me go in and hold down Seth for the IV's and it was awful -- I am glad you didn't have to be in there, although I think it might be worse to hear it all and not see her.
Give her a hug from us.
Thanks for the update! I hope she will be better soon and home! I have prayed for her!
Hope you can get some rest soon! Yeah for those wonderful grandparents who step in and help us out! Praise the Lord they found the source of ME problems before it got any worse. God bless you and your sweet family. I hope this is the last of the medical excite for awhile!
Hope she continues to improve.
Too many type-os on the first attempt!
Praise God she is better. Will continue praying!
Good to hear from you. We will be praying that ME gets to go home tonight so manybe all of you can get some rest.
I called several people to see if they had heard from you... Should have known to check the blog first!!! I am glad ME is doing better and hope she gets to go home very soon. Bless her heart! I imagine it isn't easy to keep an IV in an 18 month old! I'll be thinking about you guys!
Elizabeth, don't know where I've been but am just now reading this! I'm so sorry you all have had this ordeal! I will be praying for a complete recovery.
I guess that does explain those fevers, huh? You never know with kids. It can be pretty scary!
We are praying for ME and the rest of your family. We are also asking God to give you all some much needed rest! We love you,
The Wertheim
I do hope your home by now--and ME is feeling much better!
