Welcome to Gaia! ::

Downright cheery this weekend's been for all of us...

Hey, page 100. Sweet.

Uch! I hate pnuemonia. Had it like 9 times, or 10.

Blaze: Yup, cheery. But despite how cheery it gets, there's always something to look forward too.

::Joins in that big hug:: * I don't really pray but I will for your guys... Nothings hurts a parent as much as their child suffering. Take care and stay strong.* heart heart heart

YAY! *jumps Savith* Savvy is back and things are better! This calls for a howl and a celebration. Now, who has cookies. ninja ninja

And soon, I will be able to elf-nap Savith once more! MHUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA! ninja Wait... you didn't hear that...

okay, i have a few moments to do something resembling an update.

on friday, the daycare had reported a fever late in the day. 100degrees. so, i watched her that night and was awake almost the whole time, holding her and giving her tylenol for a 103degree fever.we bathed her to cool her off and waited for morning. 8am, 102degree fever, giant pimple on her butt that makes her cry all the time. (she's not a crying baby, so we knew something was up) we went to the doctor at 9am. he was worried about the boil, and the slightest wheezing in her chest since both parents have asthma in their family history. he sent us to the ER to have the boil lanced and to have her tested for RSV. RSV is a childhood respiratory illness caused by the virus that in adults gives us the common head cold. (Llune, you know, the one that gives me bronchitis on a yearly basis? yeah, that one) as soon as we tell the ER nurse that the doctor ordered an RSV check, the boil became a non-issue, which was annoying since that's why we went in there, but i suppose breathing is more important. 11hrs later and they admit us for 24hr observation. the boil ruptures on its own; they culture the puss. it's MRSA. MRSA is a nasty bacteria that's highly contagious. she's put on antibiotics for every, given chest xrays and the waiting begins. sunday. monday. tuesday - "we were hoping you could go home today, but we need to keep her another night cuz we want to watch that boil some more. it's not dried up yet". wednesday - "she's still having fevers? we don't know why. here's a new antibiotic. we need her another day. if she doesn't run a fever within the next 24hrs, you can go home." thursday - no fever? no fever. no fever? no fever. no fever? no Fever!! We can go home.

she spent nearly two HOURS running around everything in her room, grabbing things then pointing to her chest, giving said random item a hug before putting it back on the shelf and moving for the next item.

we're all so relieved to be home.

now, i'm going to shower in MY shower.
get into MY bed.
and sleep in the same said bed as my husband instead of in a crappy hospital bed while he crashes on the pull out sofa sleep BS they had for him.
AND i won't be having nurses wake in every hour, flipping on the lights, checking vitals, making things beep, and generally just waking me up so that all i do is worry more.

nope, tonight, i'm going to SLEEP.
tomorrow, it's back to the office. aaaaaaaaaaaand.... i have to get Monday off for a check up... and Tuesday too I think so I can take Hubby to the dentist; wisdom tooth extraction (finally, I won't be the only fool in the house!)


good night! rofl

Woah... I'm tired just from reading that. And it brings up so many "fond" memories of the hospital. Have fun getting back to a normal schedule.

I'm sorry I was away. Things got so quiet. Everyone. Please tell me what I can do to help keep the RP going. Thanks! smile

Yeah, RL is all to blame. I'm glad your back Savith and that everything is okay.

Posting on my lunch break. Working as a full-time ranch hand is hard. So much work. Well, better go eat before my breaks up.
