Update on flu
Mom was transfered to a nursing home two weeks ago. A week later, she was in really bad shape, and when they transfered her to the emergency room, they couldn't get a bottom number on her blood pressure. It was touch and go for a few days, but now she is on the mend, and today was transfered to a different nursing home for physical therapy. Pam had the flu, and had it pretty badly. But she's all better now. Izzy has had bouts of flu-like symptoms for over a week now, and finally tonight they took her to the emergency room. She was at the pediatrician yesterday, and they said she was severely de-hydrated. She ate today and had a good bit to drink, so Kris and George thought she was OK. But late this afternoon, she started vomitting again, and when Kris called the pediatrician, he said to take her to the ER for IV fluids. Kristin has also had the flu, and hasn't been to work at all this week. Pam just called from the ER, and they're doing lab work before they start the IV. The ER doctor said if they can get her to drink from her cuppie, it will be better for her. Keep her in your prayers, please.

I know this is scary as I had this experience when my daughter (now age 26) was about Izzy's age AND we had it again when HER daughter was about Izzy's age. Kids that age are very resilient and they get the IV fluids into them and they bounce right back. I will say a prayer for Izzy, but I know you will be posting here in another day or so to tell us she is all better! Take a deep breath, Grammy, and know that all will be well again soon in your corner of the world.
Hope Izzy and everyone else is soon back to their selves. Thinking of you and your family.
How is Izzy doing? Still keeping her in my thoughts and prayers.
