We are still here

So, we are still in the hospital.  Callie had a great night last night and slept soundly the whole night!  Which was great for both of us.  She had blood drawn this morning and her labs came back great so we thought we would be able to go home this afternoon.  Well, the doctor came by at noon and said she was doing well, but wanted to wait until tomorrow to send us home.  For the past 24 hours she has been on IV fluids that are being pushed twice what she would produce naturally.  The doctor wants the IV fluids to be turned down to "maintenance" (what Callie would produce naturally) and then after that take her off fluids and see how she does.  They will take blood again early tomorrow mornings and if her labs look okay then we will be able to go home, hopefully :)

We also found out today that she had just a plain old stomach virus, not Rotovirus which is a really severe stomach virus or anything else.  Let's just hope that every time she gets a stomach virus we don't have to come to the hospital to get IV fluids.  This is her second one and the second time she has gotten so dehydrated that she needed fluids.  I guess I will have to turn into a total germaphobe mom and make sure everything is super clean and not let her play in the dirt and stuff :)

We are also starting to get really stir crazy.  Callie isn't allowed to leave the room since she could be contagious, so the poor thing is stuck in here all day.  The hospital has these great little red wagons that we could pull her around in, but they won't let us.  So Scott and I have been doing a lot of sitting quietly in the dark while she sleeps :)  Scott brought our laptop from home today and there is wireless internet, so at least we have that to do.  Hopefully we don't go too crazy . . .
