Well this past week was a bit hectic for us all. It started the Friday before with Nanny being admitted to the hospital (Shands @ Live Oak). She was extremely dehydrated, which we believe was the result of a bladder/kidney infection-she gets to feeling bad, then stops eating/drinking. By Sunday they seemed to have gotten it under control and the plan was to release her the next morning. That all changed when her blood pressure shot up Sunday night and she was then transferred to ICU @ North Florida Regional in Gainesville. To complicate matters more, she broke her tail bone while in Live Oak-her whole back side was bruised and she was in so much pain she couldn't even sit up in bed to eat. My Nanny's back is terrible in the first place and she's had numerous surgeries and other procedures in order to make her more comfortable-all were no help. By Monday afternoon my Mom had made it in from New Mexico and my brother up from Lake Worth-we were all very worried by this point. The doctors finally got her blood pressure to stabilize and she was out on the cardio floor Wednesday afternoon and went home Friday morning.
In addition to finding out Nanny was in ICU first thing Monday morning, the baby was sick. He had a low grade fever on Sunday-I gave him Tylenol and kept a close eye on him. He was in good spirits otherwise so we weren't too concerned. By Monday morning his temp was 102.8-he looked like a little lobster and was just miserable. I called the Ped and she wanted to see him first thing, which was 9-apparently he got a cold which turned into an ear infection. He was back in school by Thursday-we juggled between grandparents Monday through Wednesday. I was told by his teacher that 4 out of the 5 children in his class were all on amox for an ear infection-case solved there, huh? I know he is building his immunity, but I don't like seeing him upset!
Here is Grandma V and Eli-he got to spend two different afternoons with her which was a special treat!
