Jamie and family are visiting my Dad and stepmom. He had to take some classes down in the Richmond area so it was a perfect excuse to let Great Grandpa spend some time getting to know his newest great grand daughter.
Jamie just called us in panic. Seems this morning Hailie started passing blood in her stools and spitting up some dark stuff that appears to be blood. Since Jamie was already in class, Billie, my Dad and Stepmom all ran the baby over to the local ER and they ran some tests and decided the baby should be admitted. My stepmom requested VCU/MCV because my stepsister is a bigwig there. In fact, my stepsister is the head nurse over all of pediatrics! Now she is in administration and doesnt do the actual care anymore but she can come in and keep and eye on things for us so we will all feel much better having family watch the baby.
But we are all very worried right now. I cant imagine what could be wrong with an almost 6 week old baby that could make it have blood in its stools and to be spitting up blood. She is breast feeding and doing rare supplemental bottle feedings if she is out.
Please keep little Hailie in your thoughts that there is nothing drastically wrong. Jamie couldnt take it...and lord I couldnt.
