New year....time to visit Wake Med again!!!!

Well...we set a goal to not have to go the hospital this year, which Dr. Muenzer informed me today that that was unrealistic and unfortunately, he is right! We are here at Wakemed with Lauren! She has been having stomach pain again and a general overall bad feeling. Yesterday she threw up and her blood sugars began to be unstable! We were able to stabilize them and we have been talking back and forth with our doctors at Chapel Hill. Dr. Muenzer wanted us to bring her in yesterday but we have tried to wait it out. This morning Lauren began to run fever and Dr. Muenzer became VERY insistent that we admit her to the hospital. After some praying, pondering, and Jeff giving Lauren a blessing, we felt impressed this afternoon that we indeed needed to bring her in. We are so thankful we did. Her fever has spiked this evening and they are putting her on some IV antibiotics and are running all sorts of tests to rule out what things could be. She is feeling pretty bad tonight but we all are more relaxed knowing we are in a safe setting and that she now has IV fluids running to maintain her blood sugar. Her doctors are relieved that we brought her in and are directing what is going on with her. We love the nurses here at Wakemed and because we are well known over here (I guess that is a silver lining) we didn't have to be down in the ER long at all! We will keep you posted as we learn more results...hopefully this won't be a long stay...at least that is what we are praying for! For the time being I will TRY not complain about this hard chair bed that I will be sleeping on for the new few nights...I did say I would try not to complain...hahahahaha!
