Emergency room trip......

So on Sunday we got to go to Portland to the hospital for Natasha. It started on sat she was complaining of a headache, but she had a fever so we didn't worry to much, then on sunday after church to started to cry really hard and complained her head hurt, so very quickly we called the doc, packed a bag and went to Portland. After 8 hours of testing and tears and lack of sleep the conclusion was that it was not shunt malfunction (thank heavens, that would mean surgery right away) she was very dehydrated and her potassium was way too low which we have to address with her doctor because something is causing this and it is not good. Needless to say we got home at 1:00am and we are all very tired, but very grateful that this was not shunt related......... she was a real trooper as usual....
