Being a Mom is Scary Sometimes...

So to follow up with our last blog, Callie got her bloodwork back this week and it was negative for ciliac (sp?) disease! I believe that was what they thought might be wrong with her. I guess it has something to do with her digestive system and not being able to digest some foods and keep the nutrients. Anyways, that was negative thank God! But, they did want us to come back in and do MORE bloodwork and a urine test because they found high levels of carbon dioxide in her blood. No, not carbon monoxide and yes we have a monitor for that. They needed to make sure her body was getting rid of enough of it through her urine. Of course I immediately freak out and call my mom. I made her delay her trip to Memphis a few hours so she could come back to the pediatricians office with us. I needed help and moral support holding Callie down so they could draw more blood from her tiny little arm. It is seriously the saddest, scariest thing ever! I know she is scared and not to mention it hurts her! She hates the bandaid too. So, we made it through bloodwork #2 on Wed. So today I just sat around waiting for the phone call from the doc. They finally called and said all her bloodwork and urine levels were back to normal! The doc just thinks they were out of whack from the past week of her throwing up, diahhrea, and not much urine output. This has seriously been one of the hardest weeks ever as a mom so far! Its so hard to see little Callie sick and so scary to not know what is causing it! We now know that she is just an active, petite lil girl! Although she is weighing in at 15lbs 8oz, she is healthy! Just to give you an idea of how tiny she is if you can't tell from the pictures, most babies weigh that at like 3 to 8 months. Callie is almost 15 months old. Thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers! We couldn't have made it through this week without them! Here are a few pictures of sweet Callie. The first two break my heart... they were when she was sick. The first one she is basically asleep sitting up. The second one was of her watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse laying down. She is usually standing up clapping or dancing around but she didn't have any energy. It was so sad. The last picture was Callie and Will playing yesterday. She is feeling much better... back to playing and eating well.
