Have you seen Jen? She went missing in action. Oh snap! She is back. I will let her take it from here.
I am so sorry to be lacking on my posts here at One Moms World. Unfortunately, the stomach bug virus caused all kinds of complications and my sweet and precious L ended up in the hospital for 7 days. We were hospitalized Friday a week ago, and were able to go home that Sunday afternoon. Only things began going downhill fast and we ended up being hospitalized once again on Monday.
The nurses were so good to my daughter. They tried to make her smile and make her stay more bearable. This particular nurse let L listen to her own heartbeat. We did get a smile from her.
Technology proved to be the right dose of medicine.
I will admit, the pictures do break my heart. It was so hard to see her like this and was tearing my nerves all to pieces.
After IV’s, MRI, Electrocardiogram and lab tests, L was released from the hospital last Thursday. Thank goodness!
We were battling low sugar throughout her hospital stay. She is now on a hypoglycemic diet to maintain her sugar at a normal level. We will be following up with a cardiologist. Her MRI did show a spot on her brain. The radiologist feels like the spot was not a tumor. After consulting with a few doctors, we are going to wait for six months and see if the spot has grown before we seek further action. Of course, I am worried but we are praying that this spot will dissolve in Jesus name!
During L’s stay at the hospital, she was able to experience music therapy.
This was a local college student completing her graduate studies in music therapy. Music does so much for your soul, so naturally it really uplifted L’s spirit’s immediately.
It is amazing to sit and watch how well L responded to the therapy.
We are so glad to be home and ready to put this behind us. It was downright scary to see my daughter go through this and not really have a lot of reasons why? It was very hard to send her back to school today but I was assured by her teacher that she would watch her very closely.
Thank you all for understanding about the absence here. Look forward to lots of posts this week. God Bless!
I am so glad she is home and feeling better. I know how helpless we feel when we can’t make our babies better and have to sit by feeling like we should be able to fix it. ((HUGS))
Appreciate those ((HUGS)) so much. Thank you for always being there friend!
Glad your L is on the mend! You guys have been in my prayers.
We appreciate it so much!
Glad you guys are back home. 7 days is a very long time to be stuck in the hospital.
We are so happy to be outside of those walls!
Oh goodness! I hope she is doing much better and that you are able to get some rest.
Hi Jen,
You know I did notice you were missing in action there for awhile. Now I know why and I am so sorry your daughter was so ill that she needed to be hospitalized. Glad to hear she is feeling better and that you too can feel better knowing your child is well. My heart goes out to all of you, felt so bad to hear about her illness. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers that your daughter continues to do well and that no further complications will arise.
Your words always mean so much to me Sharon. Thank you!!
You are most welcome 🙂
