Minor setback

Well, Tess has decided she doesn't want to go home today.

She woke up at about 4:15 am and ate. Then puked it all up at 6:15 am. She ate just a little bit before going back to sleep at 6:30 and puked it up again at 9:30. Then she started in with the dry heaves around 11:00 am and again about 5 minutes ago. So the puking combined with loss of appetite has earned us another night.

Our team of doctors just made their daily rounds and they think it's probably a stomach bug she picked up here in the hospital. At this point we're letting her sleep. If she doesn't have an appetite in the next few hours, then she'll get a little something through her PICC.

We were so close to going home that the visiting nurse was already scheduled to be at our house at 2:00 pm to show us how to administer Tess' antibiotics from home. I'm the one that jinxed things because I had all of our stuff packed and ready to go by 7:00 am. I won't make that same mistake tomorrow morning!

This kid was ready to go yesterday!

 But not feeling so good today.
