Our Day at the E.R.

Well, today started off o.k. Courtney was so-so. Then things turned from bad to worse. She just laid on the couch for most of the day and her eyes started to look sunken in and she couldn't move her neck. Of course she wouldn't drink ANYTHING! By the time Danny got home at 3:00 I knew it was time to head out. We went straight to the E.R. The doctor ordered for some blood to be taken and for her to immediately be hooked up to an IV. He had a hard time deciding if she should be admitted to the hospital or not, but since she wasn't vomitting he decided to just "fill er' up" and send her home. He said this should last her about 24 hours, so if she doesn't start to drink pretty soon we'll be going back again! Please, Please say some prayers for Courtney to accept fluids! She needs to start taking her medicine also!!!

Courtney's Surgery

Well, today was Courtney's surgery and the surgery went great, but the recovery isn't going so well. We have yet to see her take a drink of anything. She won't even swallow her own saliva! Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day or we may end up in the hospital again. Poor little girl is in sooo much pain it breaks my heart. If there is anyone out there that has had a child go through this please reply to me with suggestions. I truly need some advice. My Courtney needs your help!!!

The Night Before

Tomorrow Courtney goes in for her surgery to have her adnoids removed again and to have her tonsils removed. I am praying that it goes much better this time around. Last time the poor kid refused to eat and drink afterwards and ended right back in the hopital because she lost too much weight and became severly dehydrated. If there is anyone actually reading this blog could you please say a prayer for my little girl. She could really use them. She is very precious to me and this surgery is a huge concern right now in our family. Thank-you!

Brianna and Courtney in one of the few little kid rides they rode in during the day. As you can tell, Brianna, was very cautious all day long, whereas Courtney was a little daredevil!!!

Going to the fair!

Today we went to the Red River Valley Fair. It was a blast! Courtney is such a little daredevil! She was riding the adult rides with Brianna and holding her hands up on almost every single ride. Brianna on the other hand, was grabbing on tightly and closing her eyes or looking at the ground. I think she wishes that she could have stayed at the little kid rides. Oh well, that's what happens when you grow up! I think the bumper cars were the best ride of the day. All in all in was a good day and no one threw up chunks! :-)
