watch her suffer. Yesterday, she also had extreme pain in her stomache. We took her to her regular doctor who, because the pain was located near her appendix, sent us back to Phoenix Children's Hospital Emergency room. We were definitely not happy to have to be going back, but Dr. Karlen stopped by and raised her spirits. The emergency room doctor decided that she should be admitted and monitored throughout the night. She was in a lot of pain, and very dehydrated. Another IV began to give her some morphine for the pain and lots of fluids. By last night, after so long, we finally began to see Blaire's normal happy personality began to emerge. By this morning she felt better than she has since the surgery. For the first time she told me she was hungry and wanted to eat. This trip back to the hospital may be just what she needed to put her on the right path of recovery.
