Still in the hospital...still waiting

It was a long night - she slept maybe 4 hours total. With her sleeplessness coupled with the nurse checking vital signs every 4 hours - it made for a pretty restless night. What I would give for a nap and shower!

Anyway - right now Aubrey and I are just sitting in room 412 waiting for the next experiment to be done.

At about 9:30 this morning - she'll take some chloral hydrate to sedate her for the CT Scan. The CT Scan will look for any congenital defects to the pancreas or the area around the pancreas. It will also check to see if there is any internal trauma from a fall she had last week at daycare. They are hoping they won't find anything on the CT Scan - but need to do it before they recommend any further treatment.

I'll let you know - how it turns out.

In the meantime - - I want to thank some people for helping us out.

Beth - - Thank you for picking up Molly from day care and spending time with her last night until Chris got home! Sounds like she fits in well with the Weist clan!

Ardys - - Thank you for driving down from Aberdeen, SD to help us manage this hospital stay while clearing out and cleaning our house for this Friday's closing date. Not sure how we'd be able to do it with out you.

Mom and Dad - - Thanks for helping with the move this past weekend and calling the church for us because we're too stubborn to do it ourselves!

Rebecca and Bernie - - Thank you for helping us move this weekend as well! We still owe you a supper!

Pastor Helvig - - Thank you for arranging help on Wednesday night to move the rest of our items to storage - -it is greatly appreciated.

Todd/Cindy/Melissa - - Thank you for being awesome and supportive throughout this and all our struggles with Aubrey.

Thank you to all our friends and family for the thoughts, prayers, emails, cards. It means a lot.

Thanks and - they are here now - - gotta go!

Sounds like you are getting alot of wonderful help. It is killing me not to be able to go down there too. She is in our thoughts and prayers. Hope she likes the balloons we sent.

Room 412 at Children's may have a short bed, but it proved to carry some luck for us and hopefully will bring some to you as well. We were in that room for 1 week before finding out what was wrong with our little guy, and that we would all survive. After we were able to take a breath, we realized we had the short bed and they moved us to 415. If you plan to spend some time there I would suggest the same. I wish you the best of luck with diagnosis, the people there are wonderful. Say "Hello" to all Evan's girlfriends (the nurses) for us! As always, you're in our prayers.
