Reagan has had a diahrrea thing on and off for three weeks by our calculations and last night was probably the worst of it. She had gone through her diaper by 11pm. We cleaned that up. She woke up screaming at 4am. We cleaned that up. She did it again two more times between 4am and 430am. We cleaned those up. I put her back in bed about 7am (since I made her sleep on me to calm her down at 5am) and by 8am, she had gone through another diaper! UGH!!!
The other that goes with excessive diahrrea is dehydration - yea! And since she won't eat or drink (or hasn't in several days), we called the doctor. She had cried for about 15 minutes (at 4am) straight at 4am with not one tear in sight and her mouth was really tacky. The doctor said when he called back to watch her and bring her in tomorrow. Nice.
So I did. Jim and I both stayed home incase the dehydration was bad enough she might need an IV (great huh). Good thing is she didn't. But the bad thing is that she has lost weight for the second time in her life (the first during her first week of life). She had gone from 23 lb 9 oz to 22 lb 4 oz in under two weeks. I'm guessing it's because she's so active and not eating (and what she does eat goes right out the other end).
So now we get the pleasant job of collecting her "stuff" and taking it to Childrens!
Say a prayer for Ms Reagan!
