[tri-med] Rough night

Hannah had a pretty rough night last night. We put her on the O2 as she =
was
running pretty low. Gave her her antibiotic and Motrin. She seemed to be
fine until she woke Donn up a bit before 2. She had started a vomiting
episode and had a diaper that was thisclosetooverflowing! It took us a =
while
to get to the diaper as we were more concerned about making sure she =
didn't
choke. She actually had about 3-4 episodes over a 45+ minute time =
period.
And her heart rate ran between 175 and 183 the entire time, spiking at =
one
point at 210. I had her in my lap for a while and all of the sudden =
formula
started spewing from her mouth and nose and she went into panic mode. =
Man
this kid is strong! I had all I could do to keep her on my lap while =
Donn
tried to suction her. We finally managed to get the diaper changed and =
it
was dirty but all liquid. So we are battling diarrhea again.=20

We have a call in to the doctor's office to update them and to talk to =
them
about the possibility of getting a referral to St. Jude's to see about =
the
vomiting. (We didn't think about that when we were in the office =
yeterday.)
