Thank you all for the prayers. Mei-Ling is going to be fine, it was not malrotation, the thing we all dread so much with her. At the hospital, she is on the computer as a high priority patient so they didn't have to wait at all to have her seen. They did all kinds of tests and x-rays and determined it was not malrotation but think it might be the stomach flu and or that she is still rather blocked up, so they upped her dose of laxative. Cook Children's hospital is such a wonderful place, knowing that Mei-Ling was rushed in by ambulance the staff knew that Melanie did not have time to grab the diaper bag and the babies clothes were soiled from being so sick. The nurse went out of the room for a bit then came back with a brand new, tags still on them, clothes from Wal-Mart for Mei-Ling. Its those little things that just make the hospital different. God bless the Nurses and the Doctors, the support staff, all those that donate so much for the children there and to all of you for your prayers for our wee one.
I am so happy and relieved for all of you! and what a wonderful thing for the nurse to do. It helps to hear stories like these in the sad times that we live. I will continue to hold good thoughts for all of you.

Oh So Glad to hear she is doing ok. What a wonderful nurse to do something so nice. God Bless them.
I know what you mean about Cooks. Riley spent his first 9 days there as well as had 4 eye surgieries and neurosurgery there. I can't recommend that hospital HIGHLY enough.
Glad to hear Mei Ling is doing alright, I'll continue praying =-)
I'm glad to know that Mei Ling is better. That's a wonderful thing the hospital/nurses do for worried parents. Very thoughtful. Makes me miss our own hospital here. People used to say things like that about the care there. I didn't realize it while working there, but I have often heard about it around town since. Even now, people remember the kindnesses.
Pat, I just read your email and rushed to your site to see if Mei-Ling is ok. I am so very happy to hear she is going to be fine. whew. I can only imagine how frightened all of you must have been. Patricia
