My poor little girl...

She has really been feeling bad the past couple of days, super tired, stomach hurts, won't eat or drink, and running a fever. We were in Wal-mart yesterday and she had a melt down and started crying that her stomach was hurting so badly. We came home as we were out as a family, I got some books for us to read and I got some motrin into her again and we left for the ER.

Well, they did a urinalysis and some blood work as the doctor thought with where she was experiencing the pain that she had appendicitis. With as little as she could pee and with me telling them that I was having a hard time getting her to eat or drink, they did an IV and gave her fluids. Labs came back showing that she was dehydrated, but nothing showed that her gall bladder or appendix was acting up. So, they're thinking at this point that she has a virus. However, the doctor said he had a 13-year-old that did the same thing she was doing this week...getting sick, thinking she was better, getting sick and hurting again, thinking she was better, etc. that wound up coming back with worse pain and they were able to compare labs and see that there was a significant shift and they did a CT and found out that she had early appendicitis. So, he's not ruling that out at this point either. However, he said we could come home and I could watch her and if she got worse or her fever lasted more than a couple more days he wanted her back in for repeat tests right away so they could compare her labs. I really liked the doc and her nurse was so awesome. So, we're home for now and hopefully she'll feel better soon.
