My week......... Tears, Laughter, and joy!

A week ago Monday I got a call from the Doctors office saying my routine glucose was abnormal and that I needed to to follow up for a 3 hour. So this last Monday I got a call saying that was abnormal as well. SIGH! Ok I can deal with this. Well late Monday night Nola started to not act herself. So we watched her. After a few hours she was up playing with cousins and ate dinner so I figured what ever was bugging her had passed. Tuesday morning I was out running errands with Nola. At my first stop she started crying and nothing I did consoled her. So I grabbed the 2 things I needed and drove home. On the way home she started screaming and I knew I needed to get her to the Doctors ASAP! They got us in about 45 minutes later. Her Dr. looked her over and couldn't find anything wrong, but also noticed she was acting funny. So he offered running a bunch of tests not really knowing where to start or said let's watch her for 24 hours and call me if there is change. Devin and I decided to do the later. Well a few hours later we had blood in her diaper and Nola vomited up what also appeared to be blood all night every 20- 30 minutes starting at six on Tuesday. I spoke with her Doctor late Tuesday night and we agreed to wait out the night and take her to him in the morning along with the bloody diaper. After testing it in his office to confirm the blood he came in very somber to tell me I needed to get my baby to Primary Children's ASAP. By this time she had kept some liquid down, but the blood and vomit was very concerning to him. So Devin and I packed up and drove straight to Salt Lake. By the time we got there she was acting better. Blood tests came back negative and an Ultrasound of her gastrointestinal tract was also negative. So basically they said we don't know whats wrong, but watch her and bring her back if she doesn't improve. Well she has imporved and I am very grateful. We have a follow up with her Doctor here on Tuesday so we will see, but my Nola is back as far as being an 18 month old monster! The odd thing is we were planning on being in SLC this weekend anyway because my little sis graduated with her Bachelor degree in Elementary Education from the U of U. YAY Schmell! Also these past two weeks we have had two little nieces come into our lives. One a week ago and the other as Kelli was walking across the stage to get her diploma. I am grateful we were home to see Preslee and on our way home from Utah we stopped to see Lella. Devin and I had our fifth wedding Anniversary amongst the craziness. So to hopefully round everything up I get to have 2 doctors appointments tomorrow and Nola has one on Tuesday. Hopefully this will end our drama for a while. I had my turn. It's someone else 's. Thanks to everyone who prayed for my Nola. I felt the prayers. I cried, but over all I was very comforted and knew everything would be ok. The staff at the hospital was awesome and knew just how to put a mom at ease while her baby was screaming on the table. Nola's local Doctor has been great to to follow up with me and express his concern and relief. SIGH again. I am very tired, but life always brings a little good with the bad if we choose to see it.
