Concerned

So, I took Brooke to the Dr today because she threw up again last night and has been throwing up every night since she fell from the stairs. I figure it has been a week and it has been long enough that I think there is something weird happening.

I talked to the Dr. and he called the hospital to talk to the specialist there to see if we should be concern. They said they wanted to see Brooke just to check her out and see if things are o.k.

They made an appointment for us at 6pm to come into LUMC and have her checked out. Brian took her in because we had the sister missionaries coming over for dinner at 6pm. I stayed home and feed the missionaries and the girls but then it got to be 9 pm and still I hadn't heard anything from Brian. I thought he would be back with Brooke by this time.

About 10 pm I get a call saying they are keeping Brooke over night in the hospital for observation because she threw up again there while they were in the waiting room. They don't want to do a head scan on her unless they are absolutely sure it is needed because they have to put her under to do it. So they want to rule out all other things that might be making her throw up ever night. So Brian and Brooke are spending the night at LUMC and me and the girls are here at home. I want to be at the hospital with my little girl but I have to be her with my older girls too. In the morning I will take the girls and we will all go over and I will make a trade with Brian.

Kaitlyn is so sweet. She is so worried about Brooke. She heard me talking to Brian on the phone and she was worried that there was something wrong with Brooke not coming home tonight. I have a feeling Kaitlyn will be crawling into bed with me tonight.

I'm slightly frustrated also and I know this is going to sound so selfish but we have been planning to take the girls to the Linnaeushof tomorrow ( http://www.linnaeushof.nl/ click start and the picture slide show will give you a good idea of what this place is like). Tomorrow is going to be the only really sunny day this week and I finally got Brian to take a vacation day and it was all planned out. And now there is no way we will go and so I know I am just complaining but I am really disappointed because I was looking forward to doing that with the family. Instead Brian's vacation day is spent in the hospital.

I feel so horrible for complaining. Because Brooke is way more important then going to some little amusement park with the girls and I really do want to find out if she is o.k. I'm just disappointed and stressed and worried all at the same time.

Anyways, I just needed to express my concerns to someone.
