One Sick Puppy


:( Baby Rachel is one sick puppy. She started yesterday with severe crankiness and vomiting. This was followed by a fever. The next thing we knew she was having a seizure pandemic that lasted over 30 minutes. I really thought I was going to have to call for an ambulance to transport her but the episodes slowed and finally stopped once I got her to sleep. Praise God for that! Rachel had a really rough night last night. She had LOTS of loose stools and stayed awake much of the night. It turned out to be a very long night for Mom and Dad, too! This morning when I went to check on her and she had very dry, cracked lips and a very dry mouth. What I thought was impossible turned out to be possible! My little tube fed baby got dehydrated! We took her to the doctor this morning to find out she has a stomach virus. This is also why she had such seizure activity. Pray that all goes well and she recovers quickly. She is still dehydrated, but she's on Pedialyte and Prayers. That should do the trick!
