Keelie woke up great this morning.  I called in to Dr Odom and asked if they could make Keelie an appt with a GI Dr.  After being on the phone with them all morning and trying to figure out what to do with Keelie we decided to take Keelie back to Memphis.  We thought it would be best to go through the ER so Keelie could be seen quicker.  The earliest appt with a GI Dr. we could get was August 3rd.  So off to Memphis we go.  This time we were able to pack a few items.  Keelie slept most of the way to Memphis.  Poor girl just wasn't feeling good at all.  I tried to get her to eat a peanut butter cracker and she took maybe one small bite.  But it was small.  She wouldn't drink anything.  When we arrived at Lebonheur Josh dropped me and Keelie at the ER door.  When I got to the check in desk Keelie threw up.  I guess that's one way to get triaged fast.  I think we arrived at the ER around 3:00 pm.  The Dr. wanted an x-ray and lots of bloodwork done.  He tested her enzyme levels, blood sugar, CBC, blood culture, and some others.  The ER Dr. told me he couldn't find anything wrong with her.  Everything looked great.  So once again we were diagnosed with gasteroenteritis and were being readmitted for observation and further testing.  I told the ER Dr. I wasn't convinced it was gasteroenteritis.  We were in the ER til about 10:30 I believe.  It was forever.  Aunt Sandra and Jimmy came to the ER and waited with us and helped us get our stuff in the room.  We were so thankful to have them there.  When we got to the room they immediately started an IV and gave her 8 vials of some type of solution.  She screamed the entire time.  It was very hard to watch her go through that.  During all this Ryland was being a trooper.  He was only 5 weeks old.  Poor little buddy :(  So the night had ended and we were going to try to get some rest before the Dr came in the next morning.
