Eden started throwing up this morning :( Last night I noticed she didn't want to eat her solids very well. And through the night she was very whiny but wouldn't move a whole lot. I nursed her at midnight because I didn't know what else she would need and she ate really well. The night was pretty uneventful outside of a half hour. She even got the approval to be completely free of all meds (antibiotic and steroid) so we weren't awakened at 5:45 like we were supposed to be. She did however wake about 4 times between 3:45-4:15. I got the nurse to come in and give her some tylenol thinking that's what the problem was. I think the tylenol helped her rest until she woke at about 7:30. Soon after that I tried to nurse her but she wasn't having it. She started coughing and immediately puked. She has done this about 5-6 times now. We went down for her MRI about 9:30 to make sure everything is stable with her shunt. In the meantime a neurosurgeon (not our usual) prescribed some IV fluids and zofran (an antinausea med). Hopefully she is on her way to feeling better.
The neurosurgeon that came in also reprogrammed her shunt which is necessary anytime she has an MRI because of the magnets. It was very interesting. It was this little hand-held thing that she held up to her head at a certain spot on her shunt and turned a little knob a few times and voila...it was reprogrammed. On another note I am really glad she is free of antibiotics because it was giving her a severe diaper rash. I wonder if when the nurse asked the doctor for a prescription for her butt, he decdied it would be ok to take her off the meds. Her butt is already improving tremendously!
Here is my little peanut asleep. She feel asleep watching a show. Shortly after this she woke up to puke but then rolled over on her belly and ended up like the next picture. I hate watching her feel so awful but am so thankful that we are in the hospital where she can get good care and make sure it's just a virus opposed to something going on with her shunt.
