Ouch!!

Maggie has turned the corner, she is still tired and coughing but she woke up with her spunk back. She got to go to school and gymnastics, but by bed time she was definitely warn out.

Grace on the other hand, just isn't getting better. She's not unhappy or even really fussy, but she has "it" coming out both ends all day long. This afternoon, after a conversation with the pediatrician in Omaha, we went to a clinic here for a blood test. The doctor there thinks she likely has rotavirus and he warned me that it can hang on for a couple of weeks :(.



The blood draw was awful. It took 3 of us to hold her down while they took a couple tubes of blood from her arm. Poor thing, she just screamed! We were checking to be sure she wasn't dehydrated. She is just off the low end of the normal hydration levels, so we defiantly need to watch her and likely recheck the number at her pediatrician appointment Thursday, but for today she's ok. Thank God! I hope things start looking up tomorrow, she's a real trooper.
