Hannah’s Second Day in the Hospital

Hannah got her 2nd wind about midnight of the 19th and is not enjoying jello and gold fish.

Mom is tired, and all medicine has been given, Hannah’s fever is still at 101.  The itching is increasing and we are ready for are next dose.  Enjoying another midnight snack of yogurt she didn’t eat from supper.

It is 4:30 am Hannah hasn’t slept much going to try some more benedryl since it is not time for the other itch medicine, she is having a snack and juice and watching cartoons.  Thank goodness for Nick Jr. and Disney.

At 8 am Hannah is tired and cranky and mom is tired, it was a long and rough night lots of catnaps.  Hannah had her first tantrum mom tried not to laugh but it was so cute, we had the stomping feet and everything.

Her iv vein failed after the strong dose of steroid so the nurses will need to put another in before Hannah’s next dose of steroid today at 4 pm.  Get to visit Rosie the Hippo again.

Hannah ate fairly good for breakfast, french toast sticks and bacon.

Dad’s brother and family came to visit and offered to take “R” home with them for the night.  Little sister was getting bored and had more energy than Hannah could handle.

Hannah has slept off and on all day, we haven’t been running a fever since morning.  She received her 2nd dose of Steroid at 4 pm and slept through the whole process.

She woke up ready to go for the day around 6:30 pm and very hungry.  That’s the steroid in her, it makes you very hungry and gives you lots of energy.

It is 11:30 pm and Hannah is not able to sleep, another long night ahead of us.
