The Adventure Continues

On Thursday we met with one of the doctors in Baltimore to talk about having a new cast put on.  Friday morning, Kelli got a new purple cast.  Fortunately, it is only on one leg and around her waist this time.  Her right leg is completely free.  The bad news is that light anesthesia makes her overly grouchy and irritable.  It was quite the difficult day for her (and us!).

Once we got home, she started to refuse to eat or drink again.  She was pitching fits and being completely defiant.  Sunday I had to call her pediatrician because she hadn't urinated in almost 20 hours.  We were told to take her back to the ER.  The wait to see a doctor was slightly over two hours, and in that time she finally used the potty.  Once we were taken back to one of the ER rooms, Kelli decided to eat some dry cereal and goldfish (the first she had eaten all day).  By the time the doctor came in, Kelli was in a playful, silly mood.  And she was willing to drink for him - something she wouldn't do at home.  Looks like it takes being at the hospital to get her to eat, drink, and use the potty!

THANK YOU!!!

  Sitting in bed all day can get quite boring.  However, thanks to friends and family, Kelli has been receiving wonderful care packages fill...
