Trip to the Hospital

Last week we had a little scare from Miss Delaney. I was changing her diaper and noticed her lips and hands were blue! After calling her pediatrician and Ryan we headed to the E.R. They did blood and urine tests (an iv and catheter, frickin horrible), and a chest x-ray and couldn't find any problems. The doctor started using words like S.I.D.S. and acute life threatening event and wanted to keep her overnight for observation. We were transferred to Nationwide Children's Hospital by ambulance, where she was admitted and hooked up to an apnea monitor for the night. The next day an E.K.G. was ordered and Ryan and I attended an infant C.P.R. class before being released. Diagnosis: not really sure what happened but we can't find anything wrong so if it happens again call the doctor. Blah!! Nothing is worse than fearing something is seriously wrong with your child! Good news though, she's doing great.
