Little Emily's in the hospital.  Sunday she wasn't feeling well at all.  She wouldn't eat and she barely drank anything.  She was throwing up neon green mucus and had diarrhea.  I called my high priest group leader, and we administered a blessing to her.  Yesterday she was so dehydrated that my wife took her to the ER.  They hooked her up to an IV to get fluids into her.  She was doing a lot better, but her white blood cell count was high because she has an infection somewhere, possibly her ears.  So they decided to admit her.  She and my wife spent the night there.  Hopefully they'll figure it out and she can come home today.  Anyway, no P90X last night and no run this morning.  That's okay, though, because I need to give my back a rest.

Day 8 P90X - Chest and Back/Ab Ripper X

I'm getting better at these things.  I even did a diamond push-up with my fingers touching.  Emily was so cute following along.

Oh Burt, I'm so sorry to hear about Emily. Y'all are in my prayers.

From Burt on Tue, Jan 26, 2010 at 15:56:26 from 206.19.214.144

Thanks guys. I just texted my wife and she said that they're lowering her IV levels and if she can stay hydrated, she'll come home tonight or tomorrow.

From auntieem on Tue, Jan 26, 2010 at 16:39:44 from 24.17.177.218

From Lyman on Wed, Jan 27, 2010 at 09:36:40 from 75.169.107.113

Such a cute little girl. I glad to here you have her back home.

From Burt on Wed, Jan 27, 2010 at 11:08:06 from 206.19.214.144

Thanks again everyone. Also thanks for getting me on the Hot Discussion Board again for a zero-mile entry. LOL! At least I got my P90X workout in last night.

From Eric Day on Wed, Jan 27, 2010 at 11:59:30 from 200.77.40.101

Sorry to hear this Burt, but also nice to hear she is back home. Hope all is better.

From missy on Wed, Jan 27, 2010 at 21:42:17 from 70.56.98.145

Ooooh...Bless her Heart! (((((((Emily))))))

From Walter on Wed, Jan 27, 2010 at 22:16:06 from 24.10.169.110

Yuck, I hate seeing IVs on kids! I feel for you sleeping overnight in that dreaded place. You think they could develop a more comfortable way to lay down. Best wishes from the Brown family.

From Kelli on Thu, Jan 28, 2010 at 14:23:26 from 71.219.89.82

Oh man, poor little thing! I hope that two days later now she is doing much better. Did they ever figure out what was wrong?

From Burt on Thu, Jan 28, 2010 at 15:06:37 from 206.19.214.144

She is much better. It was her ear infection causing the white blood cell count to be high, but a tummy bug that made her not want to eat. My wife cried when she read through all the comments.

From Kelli on Thu, Jan 28, 2010 at 15:20:35 from 71.219.89.82

I am glad she is doing better, that is no fun!

You are well loved. ;o)

From Bonnie on Thu, Jan 28, 2010 at 17:12:44 from 128.196.228.134

Burt I am so glad Emily is feeling better! It so hard to explain to young children why you can't make everything better (even though you are nearly Superman).

From Nan Kennard on Thu, Jan 28, 2010 at 18:07:55 from 174.51.250.151

Nacho is "nearly Superman" not quite, but almost.

Glad Emily is feeling better. :)

From Camille on Thu, Jan 28, 2010 at 22:58:24 from 71.223.70.181

Burt!!! I'm so happy that Emily is feeling better. I'm so sad she was in the hospital. Do you need anything?

From Burt on Thu, Jan 28, 2010 at 23:04:21 from 98.177.216.165

We're good. Thanks for asking Camille. A dinner the night of might have been nice. I should have told the RSP. How is Noelle?

From Camille on Thu, Jan 28, 2010 at 23:08:09 from 71.223.70.181

She is doing better, thank goodness. But I am still watching her closely and limiting visitors.

From Lybi on Fri, Jan 29, 2010 at 10:44:01 from 68.3.191.246

Oh Burt! Best wishes for your sweet little one! Hope she is back to her wonderful perky self by now.
