Another Crazy Day!

Today started out with Shailyn wanting to eat everything under the sun!  She wanted Bean and bacon soup for breakfast and Tim ended up spraying her in it!  We ended up with an early shower then her appetite grew... We had Pediasure, Bean and Bacon soup, Chicken Noodle Soup, Uncle Bryon's famous cream of broccoli soup, a smoothie, a milkshake, and some apple juice.  By the time I had fixed all of that and helped her eat it (It hurts her ear to suck through a straw) it was already 1:00, so I jumped in the shower and Shailyn was looking forward to going to pick her sister up from school at 2:55.  However, our plans changed drastically when she told me she had stomach cramps...  I called her pediatrician and she told me to head straight to the ER so off we went.

After about 3 hours Shailyn was bored out of her mind and placed gloves on her feet while wheeling around the room, she definitely kept me entertained!  Then they came in and did a blood draw, Shailyn requested they poke her fingers because she hates the big needles, to my surprise they did!  Luckily it only took 2 finger pokes to get all they needed. 

Thankfully Shailyn is easily entertained and the bandaids seemed to peek her interest.

Then she showed off her splint and wiring.  I was very entertained by her as you can tell!

We then got the results of all the tests ran and her spleen and pancreas both looked okay, her red blood cell count is still below normal but they said that is normal with her spleen laceration. 

The poor thing was starving by the time we got to leave so we stopped by the cafeteria and grabbed her some ice cream (that was about the only option other than drinks that she could have!)  On our way home Tim called to let me know the ER doctor had just called the house to say they forgot to test her appendix (We were there for 5 hours! how could they forget to run a test?) So if her pain continues we need to take her back in to have that test ran.  So frustrating but I am glad that her spleen seems to be healing okay!
