Just so grateful!!!

Just to give everyone an update on Macy!!! Sorry my spelling is really really horrible!!!
Prayers work!!!
I took Macy to instacare on Sunday morning with a temp of 103 and not eating or drinking since Saturday! Kinda scary!!! She was very very sick! That night her temp shot up! She was convulsing and crying most of the night! I was freaked out! She was given a beautiful blessing by my Dad.
Then on Monday morning we went back to the clinic. The doctor took blood samples. Then orally re hydrated her. They sent us home saying it was the flu until the test results came back in.

Macy continued to not hold anything down. Not even water!!! I was so scared! I took Macy and another sample that the doctor has requested back to the clinic. The blood came back positive for a kidney infection and the other sample started to grow a bacteria. So Macy and I stayed at the clinic all day Monday! We went home with a oral antibiotic. Macy got worse she would lay in my arms almost lifeless. I prayed so hard I thought that my head would explode!!!
So back to the clinic we went on Monday night! They tried to place an IV 6 times before they could get a vain that wouldn't collapse. Poor baby she was in so much pain!
The nurses said that she was so dehydrated! They got an IV in her foot and gave her 2 bags of fluid. I guess that's quite a bit for a baby? They also gave her IV antibiotics. We were at the clinic until 10:00 pm or 10:30 pm. She slept that night on and off. Then it was back to the clinic this morning for more fluid and another round of antibiotics and test results... Ecoli and kidney infection!!! Poor baby!
She has shown improvement, and as of tonight, The IV is out and she is walking and eating and drinking! What an answer to prayers!!!
I am so humbled that my Heavenly Father loves me so much! He is so aware of little me and my wonderful children! I also feel so grateful for amazing friends like you! Thank you for all your prayers, calls and thoughts. It picks me up and carries me when I have no strength to even stand. I love you all and am so eternally grateful for you!
I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving and enjoy the Holiday season!
Forever your friend,
Merrilea
