More on Hannah

We were supposed to go in tomorrow morning to see the pediatrician, but I called & kicked up a fuss so they got us in this afternoon & ended up sending us to the hospital to be admitted (which oddly I was thrilled about, because I feel like some progress will be made.)

We still really think it might be that swimming pool parasite, I can't believe how many people from Utah have contacted me to see if she was "properly" tested for it. It takes a special test to figure it out. It also is worse on toddlers than others, & can last up to 6 weeks... what's another 2 right? HAHAHA!! So we have mentioned it to the Dr. here & said he may want to do a little research on that parasite, & we pushed for that specific test. He listened to me (which shocked me, because I feel like people ignore my opinion.) So at least now we know she will for sure stay hydrated, & hopefully get the treatment she needs & deserves. Now I don't have to worry so much about pre-term labor, because I'm already in the hospital... hehe.

Hannah is being a good sport, but of course gets worked up like a 2 year old would in a hospital. The hardest part is trying to bribe her, because they aren't letting her eat or drink anything. Hopefully they will atleast let her have something to drink soon. Thanks for all your concern & prayers, we appreciate it! I'll try to update with any new changes.

I had no idea that Hannah was so sick and I just heard it through the Ward grapevine this week! I am so sorry, I can't imagine how scary and down right frustrating all this is for you and your family. You are in our prayers and I hope that this new stint in the hospital will start things looking up. Let us know if there is absolutely anything I can do for you guys! Can we bring you a meal soon? It's not much, but it will keep you from cooking so you can relax a bit. Just email/call me and we can work it out. Oh- and I have you baby shower gift too!
