Tasha's Hospital Revisit

Since this Blog is about Reis, I won't go into too much detail here, but I thought that it was a big part of what happened in Reis' life so I had better make note of it...

Just as we thought everything was getting better and our lives were getting back to normal, Tasha was put into the hospital two days after we got back from Salina.  At first, we were not sure what the heck was going on with her, but it was thought to be an infection of some kind.  Due to the amount of blood that she lost and everything else that went on the previous 5 days, she ended up with UTI (Urinary Tract Infection) on top of her hemoglobin level being very low.  They put her on IV meds and pumped her full of liquids to try and bring her hemoglobin back up to normal.  I don't remember exactly where it was, but I know it was too the point that she was very weak and ghostly white at times.  We spent most of the first week of Reis' life in Hospitals and this was weighing very heavy on both of us.

Just when we were thinking we were going to have to get a permanent room at the hospital, Tasha started to come around, and just in time since the 4th of July was only a day away.  Tasha was released on the Third and we were able to enjoy the celebration with the rest of the family.
