OT: Had Ally At The Hospital Again

Jul 05, 2005 37 Replies

Thank you Deb!! Its very hard, especially when they are putting an IV in her and she's staring deep into your eyes.

Tabitha I hope Ally is feeling better soon. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Take care.

Oh Tabitha, I started crying when I read this. I remember feeling my little one's pain when he had to have IV's. I remember thinking my heart would break for him, I felt so helpless. Big hugs to you! I feel for you.

Ohhhh....I've been there before. I remember when DD was about 12 - 18 months old and got sick. She was dehydrated enough that they put an IV in her and I had to help hold her down. Oh how I cried after it was over and she fell asleep in my arms. I feel your pain, Tabitha. It's heart-wrenching.

Thank you Cathy! I'll have to send you the picture but we took the blanket that you made her to the hospital with us.

It was so hard not to cry when she was just staring into your soul. Eric also felt it. Big hugs back to ya :)

Oh goodness.. Ally was a little dehydrated too and they tried putting it in her hand and couldn't get it and then they tried the foot and finally got it. After the IV and the taking of the blood and urine sample she was so out of it she fell asleep on the bed.

Oh Tabby! *hugz* I was wondering where you were. I'm keeping Ally and you and your family in my prayers. It does not seem fair to see a little one suffer like that :(( I hope you get that appointment soon and they figure stuff out. Giver her a warm hug from me!

Judy, SA

hope she gets better... a friend of mine has a 1 year old that has the same problem.. 2 uti's in 2 mos...

Thank you! Its not fun. I hope your friend's baby gets better as well. Its really hard on the little ones and its also hard if they have siblings. I know that its hard on Abby when I'm stuck at the hospital with Ally and Dh works and she is with family members. Not that she doesn't like being with family but she also likes being at home :)
