Guest guest Posted October 5, 2000 Report Share Posted October 5, 2000 , My heart goes out to you. Sierra had the CT two weeks ago. Luckily she took the liquid with no problem. The bitter taste upset her the most and while she screamed the nurse dimmed the lights so I could rock her to sleep. We did not need the IV. When Sierra was born she had a temperature the staff was able to bring it down, and we went home 24 hours after. We then checked back into to the hospital due to a high fever. We had a spinal tap, as well as many other test. The nurses who did all the pricking were just remarkable. Even at 24 hours old, I was completely aware that Sierra was in the right hands. Just know that you are a special Mom who is doing everything she can for her child. I am not sure of the experience you will go through, but even though she is a little baby, I am sure she understands that you love her. Be sure to tell the nurse of 's medical history. Such as fever, medication, etc. I practically told them everything and they listened and assured me it was going to all right. I just whispered to Sierra over and over again how much I loved her, and realized that we were going through this, so she can get the help she needs. You will be in our prayers, Sierra & Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
