Update on the Little Miss

Caroline was admitted to Portsmouth Naval Tuesday afternoon with a yucky stomach bug. Parker had it first, and 3 days later (when, of course we considered ourselves "in the clear") she starts throwing up. After about 8 hours of being able to keep nothing down, she became a little lethargic...which scared me. So I start paging doctors. Her Cardiologist said to bring her in, and to the ER we came. No one could start an IV on the Princess, (and I would only let them try twice)...not even the PICU nurses. So we went the slower, less intrusive route of trial and error. I still can't believe we're at the hospital, admitted, and as of this point (having already spent the night) still unsure of when they'll let us escape. For a stomach flu?! Yes. And I'd better get used to it. HLHS is no joke.
