My life has been consumed since last Monday with one sick little granddaughter. She started with flu and it just lingered on and on. She has been throwing up for 10 days straight. She was on an IV and in the hospital after 5 days of it, when she got dehydrated, and even then kept throwing up bile or anything we managed to coax her to eat. She wouldn't even suck on a popsicle. The doctors have run every test known, poor little pincushion, and still she languishes. She went home for a night or two thinking her own bed and familiar surroundings might help her get back to normal, but she had a dreadful night of throwing up again, so it's back to a specialist today. She is going to a pediatric gastrointerologist....how much more specialized can you get? We are all flummoxed as to what is causing it since she has no known infection, no fever, blood cells are normal, and her bowels are OK. It's just a mystery. And in one so young, to see this little girl who is normally a firecracker, lay in bed and just stare into space scares my heart. Those of you who pray, please do. I'll keep you posted.
