Day 5


We have been in two different hospitals now over the course of a week and it has been a long week. We think we have it figured out and are hitting it with a metric ton off meds. The Gracie is drowsy and cuddly today probably because we are pumping her full of anti-biotic, anti viral and anti fungal cocktails. The kido sat on my lap last night and watched star wars (or at least 20 minutes before she fell asleep) with me and was pretty transfixed. I am sure it was the drugs. I am ready for her to come home.

 

On arrival at the second hospital which we only agreed to come to because they had the iv meds she needed; we were told we don’t have that med. Thus begun world war 3.5. it turns out they did have it they just wanted to make there own diagnosis of the situation. But this is not the way to great 4 people who what to see their little girl come home. It took hour but now she is getting the works pumped in and should be on the road to recovery.

Sick Pumpkin


My little girl is in the hospital with an infected eye. It looks like she was attacked by a wild monkey or something. It is a very helpless feeling when you child is sick. You have to help people who are trying to make them better by making them hurt more. You want to say no, no go away but instead you are holding your baby down as accomplices in the act. When I was still drawing blood from pediatric patients the parents who always say  as I was leaving the room; “the bad man is leaving”. That always made me upset I am trying to help you child get better and you are talking bad about me as I walk out the door.  Now I am the parent and I still feel like the bad man. They had to do a CT scan and even though she was sedated and did not suffer at all during it was very hard for me to watch.

The Celica is very commonly mistaken for Ford Mustangs, I wonder if thats why they have the Ford sponcer.
