Hospital Stay

Emily had her first stay inpatient at Texas Childrens Hospital. Sunday we took her to the ER because she had lost a few pounds and was looking dehydrated all within about 12 hours. They admitted her into the hospital Sunday evening. Her levels are finally Ok and she was able to come home last night. They believe the problem is with her kidneys. When she gets sick they are not getting rid of all that they need to be, specifically the sodium which causes her to dehydrate so quickly. She did have another renal U/S and echocardiogram so hopefully we'll learn something from that in a week or so. Their only advice is to get her into the doc quickly if she begins to throw up or has any diarrhea.
