I feel so helpless....
DD got a nasty stomach bug starting on Sunday afternoon. Last night, I ended up taking her to the ER (DH was flying, so I had a friend come with to help me with DS). Well, I'm so glad I took her in because she ended up having to be admitted for being dehydrated! DH arrived around 11:30 pm and stayed with her last night- I came home with DS and to take care of our dogs.
Well, the ped. just came by to talk with DH and she said she does not want DS to be on the pediatric floor at all- she doesn't want him to catch anything, which I understand. But that means I can't go either, since we are nursing and I don't have anything pumped (and honestly don't have a clue if he would even take it). The only idea I have right now is to have a friend come with me who can sit with him in the lobby for an hour or 2 while I visit with DD? The pediatrician wants to keep her there likely through Thursday to make sure that she is eating and drinking again (right now she is just on IV fluids, no oral food or drink). I'm going nuts thinking that I will be home for the next 2 days without seeing DD! I do not want to have to give DS any formula and I don't think I can get much if I just start pumping right now- DS still nurses so often that I don't even have much time to be able to try and pump. Holy cr@p, I don't even know where all the parts to my pump even ARE.
