Trinity is Fine Now, But...

Thursday 27 September 2007

she had rather an adventure earlier this week. [Note: for those of you who can't tolerate discussions about vomit or poopy diapers, stop reading now.] Sunday night Trinity had her first ever "sleep-over" at a hospital. Well, strictly speaking, it wasn't a hospital. Dr. Real, our local pediatrician, has a lovely hospital room in his offices. His house is upstairs, so he is conveniently located when he has overnight patients. Apparently he has one a week, at least.


Basically, what happened is that Trinity had a really bad intestinal infection. She had had diarrhea for several days, but sometimes that happens and it just works itself out. She started eating less and less solid food, so I began to suspect she wasn't feeling well, and decided to take her to the doctor on Monday morning. On Sunday, she started to vomit. After three incidents, we called the doctor and went for a visit. He gave her an injection that was supposed to stop her vomiting within the hour, and gave us prescriptions for antibiotics, pedialite, and an anti-vomit med. Unfortunately, she kept on vomiting. The poor dear would drop off to sleep, and wake up half an hour later and vomit. We had to be on duty right next to her with a bowl and towels the whole time. After a couple of hours, we called Dr. Real again, and he said she needed an IV.


We packed as if we were going on a 2-day trip, mainly because we had no idea how long we'd be at the doctor's office. I even included a couple of Trinity's favorite books, Teddy, my laptop with her favorite movies (Harry Potter), and an icebox with snacks for me and Andy. We got there and saw the brightly painted hospital room, complete with extremely uncomfortable hospital bed (if you weigh more than 30 pounds/13 kilos), colorful teddy-bear covered blinds, ceiling fan, air-conditioning and private bathroom. Except for the bed, it was kind of nicer than some of the hotels we've stayed at here.


Dr. Real was as friendly and efficient as ever.

He had already laid out a sheet, in which he informed us we would swaddle Trinity so that he could insert her IV. Andy carefully showed Trinity all of the medical instruments and tubing, and explained to her that after we put the IV in, she would be able to drink water through the tube without throwing up. I know she's only 2 years and 3 months, but she totally understood and was reasonably calm. She was not too excited about the idea of being swaddled, so we asked if we could skip that part, but Dr. Real said it was really necessary. We explained to Trinity that he is an expert, and that it must be done. She cried, but cooperated anyway.


Andy held her arm, I sang to her, and Dr. Real inserted the IV. Trinity cried and said "ow, ow, ow, ow, ow" but she didn't move, and remained really calm. Dr. Real said she was really brave, and one of the easiest kids he'd ever worked with. We were proud. At first Trinity was fascinated with the IV, and spent a fair amount of time looking at it and would have fiddled with it if we hadn't held her other hand back. Then after a while she said "Other hand, no," and pointed to the hand without the IV. We agreed with her that two IVs would not be fun.


We could tell almost immediately that Trinity was feeling better, but she was so exhausted that she mostly dozed on the bed to start off with. Sadly, she was still waking and vomiting, but there wasn't much left to throw up, and the intervals kept getting longer. When we arrived it was every half hour to hour. Then it was an hour and a half, then 2 and half hours, then 3 and a half hours. After that, 1:30 am on Monday morning, she didn't throw up again. But since we didn't know she wasn't going to throw up again, we were still alert every time she moved. She would wake up every now and then and look at her IV, then look at us and say "Eso, no; eso no," ("This no, this no) with her eyes filling with tears and her lower lip quivering. Then she started getting mad, and tried to rip out the IV and started kicking and crying. That's when we heaved a sigh of relief and knew she was totally on the mend. She actually had the energy to get mad and fight.


We all miraculously slept in until around 9:30 in the morning. I'm not sure how; Andy was on the camping pad and sleeping bag on the floor, and I was curled up next to Trinity on the extremely lumpy mattress. By 11:00 am or so, we gave Trinity a small cup of water. She did this amazing and entertaining puckering thing with her lips, which definitely indicated to us that she was really thirsty, in spite of being so hydrated by the IV that her diapers were literally overflowing. She eagerly drank half a cup of water, and we waited to see what happened. She didn't get sick after waiting for 40 minutes or so. Dr. Real said he would disconnect the IV and we could go home.


We got Trinity home, and aside from her being very wary for the first few days about eating solid food, and her failing to take her regularly scheduled naps, she's pretty much her normal self again. Well, she's her normal self that is being cooped up in the house and not allowed to go play with friends or attend play-school. We have to wait until her defenses are back up so she doesn't catch whatever everybody else has as soon as she sees them. We expect that'll be within another couple of days. In the meantime, Trinity's new favorite phrases are "not feeling very well" and "I sick". She's such a sweetie, and we're so glad she's feeling better!
