The stomach flu has been running through our family this week, DH and I were the first to get it, then we had a couple days reprieve, before Jakob and Ellie simultaneously started projectile vomiting at me and all over our new couch. Fantastic.
As Ellie's airway is vulnerable, I didn't feel comfortable having her on bipap while sick, even with a home nurse.
So, we drove in to the hospital. Spent six hours in an er room, before being moved to ICU. All my anxiety fled when E got here. The staff, nurses, doctors, they're all so amazing.
The ICU is a very special place.
Dr. Dee wants us to stay until Sunday, to make sure Ellie's totally in the clear. If only it weren't so nice outside!! Really, it is gorgeous, and we are in a windowless room!
