Hospital Stay

Sarah went to the ER at 6 am Weds morning. Croup. She woke up coughing and crying that she couldn't breathe. Poor kid was so scared. She spent the night there and came home last this morning. I took pictures once she was better and in her room. She was quite bored but happy at times. She loves the fruit and the toast. She loved sleeping with momma. She LOVED her popsicles. she loved when Justin came to visit. (We couldn't get him to school today. He was too upset. He thought we'd be home by the morning and he flipped when he woke up and we weren't home. He also had a gift he had bought for her at his school secret santa and wanted to give it to her right away b/c she was sick. Oh....and when she was very sick Weds morning and Daddy was holding her at the back door trying to get cold air even though it was freakishly warm out, he brought her his flat ear. That would be his original lovey. We took it with us to the hospital.) She loved the gift she got when she was discharged. I'll update more later.

I don't want to forget to tell you about the orange juice fit though. Way too Sarah!

So we were at the ER and Sarah needed steriods. They wanted to give it with orange juice. I said "Oh, orange juice. She doesn't drink juice." The nurse said "well we'll see if she drinks this now." OMG! Sarah lost it. She started throwing herself around and crying and crying. I had no clue WTH was happening. It was so unlike Sarah. She never acts like that. Finally, about 4 minutes later, she manages to get out b/w coughs and crying "No juice!" I said "OH!" and told the nurses she didn't want juice and to get her water instead. Instantly Sarah calmed down and sat up as if nothing had happened. Amazing!

She named her bunny that Justin had brought for her Giselle b/c I love Princess Giselle so much. Aww...
She named her baby doll that the nurse gave her "Sue Sue" after some baby on tv. She told me that "Just assume I am getting that baby for Christmas. Then I will have 2 Sue Sues." lol
When Sarah wanted popsicles, the nurse (Diane?) took her hand and walked her to the freezer. She picked her up and let Sarah pick out a popsicle. She also brought her a baby blanket for Crishy, brought Crishy a bottle, brought her a diaper. She was GREAT with Sarah and her baby!
