Emilyn had her first overnight hospital stay on Monday night. When she woke up Monday morning she was completely dry and her tummy was distended. I called her doctor and she had me bring her in. Emilyn also hadn't had a bowel movement since the previous evening either which is strange for a nursing baby.
We saw a pediatrician because her regular doctor wasn't in that afternoon. She decided that since Emilyn was so young she needed to spend at least one night in the hospital for observation. After they hooked her up to the IV and got fluids in her she did start to pee. The next day they took her IV out and sent us home around 3pm since she had started to pee and Tricare only has 23 hour observation.
She still doesn't pee as much as she should and her stomach is still distended so I am trying to keep track. She threw up a lot today but I am thinking that has to do with her maybe not feeling so well. If anything changes I will let you know, but I am guessing she is going to be fine, she probably just has a bug...it is that time of year afterall!
