Texas Trip
The day after Christmas we headed down to Texas to visit Brett's dad. That morning Landry woke up not feeling well but we just figured it would be a little winter cold, no big deal. But you could definitely tell she wasn't feeling herself. Kelly and the kids drove behind us and after a few stops, 1 throw up from Landry, 1 stop at Rosa's, we finally made it Granbury. Landry woke up with a low grade fever and was super lethargic so I took her to an express care just to make sure it wasn't the flu or something. All test came back fine so we went home and she went back to sleep. The kids rode the "bull" and then got to ride some horses. By the late afternoon she had perked up a little. I stayed home with Landry while the rest of the kiddos went to a trampoline park with the Texas cousins.
Landry was asleep off and on all night and went to bed early and basically slept through the rest of the trip. If not in the crib, she was sleeping in my arms. Very lethargic but no other symptoms. Seriously slept the rest of the trip. Not an exaggeration. That afternoon we went to the gun range and got to shoot some guns! I was a little uneasy but turns out it was fun and I'm a pretty good shot! Well...after a few practice rounds!
We left the next day and Landry was still sleeping, she slept the entire 8 our drive, and when we got home. When she was "awake" she was barely opening her eyes, not moving, just laying and then back to sleep. We decided to take her into the ER that night in case they missed something at the express care. Again no other symptoms, not a runny nose, no fever, no cough, was drinking and having wet diapers, but nothing else. All their test came back negative as well.
The next day she was the same and I was starting to get worried. It's not normal for a 2 year old to sleep for 5 days straight with no answer. So we went to Children's Mercy and she was admitted. We were there for 2 days. They gave her fluids, did multiple blood test (pricks on her feet and hands...apparently her veins stink), ran a head CT, abdominal ultrasound and...all came back NORMAL. They were stumped. By the second day she was starting to perk up and was eating better so they gave us the option to keep testing or go home. I couldn't let her be poked anymore so since things were looking up we decided to head home. With no answers. She's back to herself again and pray that never happens again.
I wish she was normal on our trip because she would've gone crazy over all the dogs and horses. We'll just have to make another trip!
