October 13, 2008






Grandma and Grandpa Carter came to visit. What an exciting time! Emily went from feeling fine one minute to holding the back of her head and crying that it hurt so badly while vomiting a lot! She was so out of it and dehydrated. We ended up in the Children's Hospital Emergency room on Saturday. They completed a battery of tests on her including a CAT scan and blood work. She got an IV, anti-nausea medicine, and fluids. What a horrible experience for us. Holding her down while they were inserting her IV was a pretty traumatic event that I don't want to have to repeat again. Luckily all the tests came back normal and they sent her home after she got fluids and was acting normal again. She even commented that the hospital was a "fun place," as we were leaving. Wow?!? I don't really understand the thinking of a two year old! When we got home Emily was fine and it was like it never happened. On Monday we went to the farm. We saw all kinds of animals. Emmy's favorite was the baby goats. They were smaller than she was. We went on a Hay Rack ride and picked out a pumpkin at the end. Overall we had lots of fun with grandma and grandpa! We are so glad they came!
