Our Very Eventful Vacation

This past weekend the Hirst family rented out a townhouse in Wolfcreek and we all were together. All 27 of us in one house. It started out as a very good vacation. It was an amazing place to stay. It had a home theater in it, rooms just full with bunk beds, amazing bathrooms, our very own hot tub on the patio and a game room. It was a pretty amazing place.

Come Friday night we were up with Anastasia in the middle of the night with her just screaming. She was thirsty so we made her a bottle and she would drink a little bit of it and then just scream some more. So we knew right away that she had a sore throat and probably needed to go to the doctor to make sure it wasn't anything serious. Saturday morning we drive back to SLC to her pediatrician and they checked her out and she had a rash all over her body and a very bad sore throat and just told us it was viral bug and it will go away in 2-3 days. So we went back up to wolfcreek and continued our vacation. Well, come Saturday night she still wasn't drinking or eating ANYTHING! So we called the on-call doctor and he said if she doesn't have a wet diaper by 7 in the morning you will probably need to take her to the ER to get an IV. All night we just used a syringe to put as much liquid as we could down her, but by 7 am she still had a dry diaper. So she had then gone 36 hours without anything to drink or eat and 12 hours without a wet diaper. To make this story short, we took her to back to SLC to primary childrens hospital to get an IV and we were there from 10-3. IT WAS A LONG DAY, it was very hard to sit there and hold down Anastasia while they put the IV in her.
After they were done with the IV they wanted her to drink some liquid before she could go home, and of course she still wouldn't drink anything. So we went with the option of leaving the IV in her (in case she didn't drink anything and we had to take her back for more fluids) and having it taken out the next day. Monday was a long day also. Waiting until our 3pm doctors appointment was not very fun because it hurt her to crawl and to do anything. So she was very fussy all day. Now she is all healthy and back to normal which is WONDERFUL!!!!
Sorry that was such a long story, and if there are alot of errors.


Here are a couple of the pictures that I got a chance to take while we were up there.
