It's Been A Long Week

Ill have to leave a better account of this experience later, but for
now here's the short of it.

I don't even know where to start anymore. Last Sunday Patch was
admitted to Primary Children's Hospital for an we infection. We has
lots of ups and downs. The poor boy was poked too many times. His eye
hurt so bad, but he let the doctors pull at it anyway.

We were on our way out the door Thursday when Path started a terrible
allergic reaction to his antibiotics (we think). He was swollen with
welts and hives everywhere! They changed his Meds and we stayed
another night.

Friday we were discharged around 11am and we headed home. He did great
and was happy. By 4ish he was getting tired and slept through Tyler's
hockey game. By 7:15pm he was asking to go to bed.

This morning when I went to give him his meds, his eye was swollen
again and it hurt.

The instructions were to bring him back to PCMC, so we did.

He had another CT scan were they found the infection had gone to the
back of his eye, which was bad news.

The end result is sinus and optical surgery. He's in there now and
were just waiting for him to be done.

This is Patch before surgery, he's such a cute kid.

Emily I am so sorry. I was just talking to Dave last night about him and wondering how he was doing, and me the slacker not having emailed you to find out how he was doing. I hope all goes well with his surgery. He is in our prayers.

Stinkin' luck. I wanted to know if you were up at Primary's by the U because we've been up there all week.

So sorry he's so sick. Hang in there little guy!

You're in our prayers.

Hope surgery went well, and that he will be able to recover quickly.

You have been in my thoughts all week, and I apologize for not checking in on you personally.

I'm sure you are exhausted, so I will give you a call on Monday. Take care of yourself.

Ugh. I didn't notice that I commented under Megan's google account. That was the Meggy comment. Sorry. I hate when she does that! (or I don't notice she's logged in...) :)

Hope things are ok.
