Has gone from not being able to poop, to not being able to stop. It started Thursday morning, and unfortunately it hasn't stopped. It seemed like she was getting better Saturday and this morning, but it started up again this afternoon.
Emma has been a trooper. She has been playing, laughing, and moving all around the house. The hardest thing was that she got a horrible diaper rash from it and she would SCREAM every time I changed her diaper. Her doctor called in a prescription for her and after arguing with the insurance company about covering it, we have her diaper rash under control. The next thing we had to worry about was keeping her from getting dehydrated. We were told by the Doctor's office that a trip to the ER for IV fluids was a possibility. So we have been trying to get as much water and Pedialyte in her as we can. So far things have been good with this.
We have no idea what is causing the diarrhea. We have been giving her mac-and-cheese and bananas to try and stop it! It is so sad because she WANTS to eat. Poor thing, by the end of the day, she is so hungry that she can't get dinner in fast enough! Hopefully whatever is in her system will be gone soon.
Even with this going on, I was still able to go to a photography workshop with Jessica and her friend Janelle. It was given by Kamee June, who is a photographer in California. She is so passionate about photography that it was neat to hear her talk about. She was also someone that you instantly felt like she was one of your friends. In fact, Jessica and I both said that she reminded of us of our friend Jamie. The really cool thing was not only did we get to hear what she had to say, but we also got to see her do a photo shoot. It made me realize I need to get down on the ground to be level with Emma to get better pictures. It was a great day filled with lots of info and I can't wait for her next one.
While I was at the workshop, Emma spent the day with my Mom and Grandma. She did great, and they took good care of her making she she drank her fluids!
Talking about the photo shoot
This family was so nice to let 20 people watch what is already a somewhat uncomfortable thing
And just in case you were wondering, the backyard is still coming along. Robert is almost done with the tilling process, and thinks it will take about one more day to get all the way done. Know the question is if he wants to plant seed, get sod, or fake grass. It changes every day, so who knows what will end up with!
And just to show that Emma is doing ok.......
Before I tell you what you are looking at, I have to tell you the back story. One day Emma saw Robert spit. She thought it was hilarious and did full on belly laughs. This of course made Robert do it more and more. Fast forward to today when all of the sudden I heard this little tiny spitting type noise coming from Emma and realized that sure enough she was spitting on the ground. If you look really hard you can see it on the black part of the frame. I was in shock while Robert was so proud. I had visions of her in her girly Easter Dress spitting! I guess we have hit the stage where she remembers what she sees and imitates!
