PICU

On Thursday they gave her lots of fluids because she was really dehydrated. That perked her up a bit but then she started getting really fussy.

Her lungs started having some problems. It is possible that she aspirated and has the beginnings of pneumonia or they could have given her too much fluid and that could be affecting the lungs.

They put her in PICU so that she could have more oxygen. Please pray that she won't need to be put on a vent. Also keep praying for her liver. Thank you for your prayers.

Admitted

We took her to the ER on Thursday and she was admitted to the hospital. They did the spinal tap and ruled out meningitis.

The lab results for her liver were abnormal. They have given her plasma. We are praying that the liver will start doing what it needs to do.

Sick

On Wednesday, I noticed that Sierra was not herself. She was just sleeping and would not eat. I took her to the doctor and he thought she might just have an ear infection. He gave her a shot of antibiotics.

The next day she still was not doing well. We took her back to the doctor. He had an xray done and checked her urine for a bladder infection (which she did not have). He was worried about meningitis and recommended that we go to the hospital.
