Zip, Nada, Zilch

***Update: We are in ICU now because she had an episode of bradycardia and is on a nasal cannula for now.

That's what we've accomplished since yesterday. We were supposed to have hernia surgery yesterday and instead we were forced to head to the emergency room at 5am. Callista started throwing up the brown vomit again at 3am and by 5am, it was every five to ten minutes or so. Believe it or not, they actually believed me when I said it wasn't the shunt and skipped the six hours of MRI and x-rays and went straight to GI. This is the third time we've been in for the same issue.

So of course we did not get to go through with the hernia surgery. I still feel like this is a huge coincidence that she was diagnosed with a hernia and then three days later vomits blood and they are unrelated. They assure me that while they can't rule it out, anatomically, it's next to impossible for that to be the cause. Today she was supposed to receive a short anesthesia for a scope to look at her esophagus and stomach but they postponed that since she was not back to baseline and they didn't feel comfortable putting her under.

To top off our awesome party, they informed us this morning that her urine culture grew something and she has another UTI. At this point, this is our fourth UTI in three months. I want to talk to urology. First, they told us it was because we weren't cathing enough, so we upped our cathing. Then she got another one and we were put on bactrim for prophylaxis. THEN we were told it's because of her kidney reflux and we were put on ditropan and cath every four hours. I am so excited to be enlightened as to why she has one now. 


And here I am, on my last week of summer break spending it in the hospital with Callista. She had to spend her half birthday (yes, six months old!!!! Gasp!) getting poked and prodded and miserable.
