Hannah was in the ER UPDATE 7/28/06

At 1am, Joanna noticed she had alot of blood in her stool. it was really bad, so we took her to schneiders childrens hospital. they had to draw blood and do xrays. they ruled out a fisher (sp?). thank goodness all the tests came back okay, so they are thinking she may have a milk protein allergy, but they dont want us to switch formulas yet. they are also testing the stool for some kind of bacteria. it was really scary for me and Jo . we had to restrain her and she was crying and it broke my heart. it su*cks seeing your child in pain and there is nothing you can do for it.

Yes it tears at you because you can do nothing about it. *putting my arm around your shoulder* She will be ok though, once they figure it out.

Hugs and kisses to Hannah, and to you and Jo. It's the hardest thing in the world to watch your child in pain and having to wait to see what can be done for her.
Love to you all. Keep us posted.

E, you know that we are all Praying for you, Jo and Hannah.
Yes Dear... it is a very heart breaking thing to see your child hurt and not being able to do anything, because they can't tell us where they hurt.
I know that the doctors will find out the cause and she will be just fine; I'll all of you up lifted in Prayers...
You've always been there for me Eric, and trust me, I am there for you...
Peace & Blessings

I hear that man.
The docs had me hold my daughters head still as they stitched it, the whole time she was screaming for me to help her 
She was only two and would not come near me when it was over....worst moment in my life!!
Prayers to you and yours, brother!

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

Awww honey I'm sorry you guys had to go through this. Does your pediatrician have an after-hours emergency line or a doctor on call at nighttime? The only reason I'm asking is that it's always a good idea to give them a call, if you can, before going to the ER. First of all, that alerts them that you are going to the ER and it also is another sounding board to maybe save yourself the visit or not. Not saying that you didn't need to be there - that's not what I'm saying at all. But if they had decided that they could see her first thing in the morning and that would be safe enough, then it would have saved all of you the hassle of going down...
BUT - I can't stress this enough that I don't want you to take that the wrong way - it's GOOD that you went and that you got the help you needed for her! A fissure is actually just a little break in the skin (almost like a cut) around her anus (forgive my terminology...I'm a nurse) that is sometimes from irritation from having so many bowel movements and also wearing a diaper all the time. Fissures are very common and are generally the number 1 reason you'd find blood in a baby's diaper. You'd be able to see an area of redness or breakdown there, however, which I guess is how they ruled it out. To treat a fissure, most people use desitin or zinc oxide or A&D ointment....proshield and triple paste work for really BAD skin breakdown, but I wouldn't move to those until the peds said that was the best move. But anyways...that's for the future since you said they ruled it out, which means that wasn't the cause. I'm glad they also ruled out any other major things like obstruction, which is why they do the xray. That's a very good thing to rule out!!!
Keep us posted on what you find out. I know it was a horrible experience because I see parents going through the terror of lack of control when their child is hurting every day. We don't ask parents to hold their children down because we're used to working with babies whereas the ER is not. I would never want a parent to hold their child still in the crib while I drew labs or whatever. But I guess they go with the mentality that you being there will provide comfort....
Mostly I feel bad for you having to go through this entire thing and I hope that Hannah is okay!! Please let us know what they find out because I know I'll be sitting here worrying away until you do!!!
Love and hugs,
Carrie

When my girl was about 3 she had a bad flu, we took her in and between her barfing on me then her mom barfing from all the barfing going on I was at my wits end. Of course thats until they took her in a room, taped a piece of paper over the door window so I couldn't see them put an IV in her arm, they finally let me in after beating the hell out of the door. I can still see her crying eyes looking at me in terror.... 
I guess that why whenever she's sick she won't leave my side, and pretty much shuns the ex wife. 
Again good luck!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry. Hope it gets worked out soon. It is harder to see someone you love in pain that be in pain yourself, especially a tiny helpless baby.

Jo & Eric - what a frightening night you had. There's nothing worse than that helpless feeling especially when the little ones aren't able to tell you what hurts or what's causing a problem.
I'd love to tell you this will be a one off time, but I expect that all the parents out there will tell you that it's part and parcel of having the little darlins.
Wishing you and Hannah a more peaceful night tonight. Please do keep us posted.
Hugs
Carol
