Bean's first hospital trip


Well for those who don't know.......

The 27th we went to Orlando That night we went to a friends house to her daughters birthday party... While we were there Bean was playing with their dogs one was giving her kisses Bean was turned around when someone snapped a picture well Both Bean and and the Dog turned at the same time and Bean was well bitten..... Not aggressively but still bitten. We went to the ER closest to their house (Dr Phillips Hospital). She received 7 stitches and really needed apparently 3 more but got glued instead. Well all was doing well till Tuesday the 30th. The Large cut starting oozing so called my Pedi who told me to go to the closest urgent care to see if it needed to be looked at again by the ER. Well ( I will leave the gross stuff out) We needed to go to the ER. We went and waited 2 hours they cut the stiches out (leave out more gross stuff) and decided she needed to go to the childrens hospital (Arnold Palmer). They did an IV antibiotic drip and said she needed to be seen by a surgeon. We waited a while longer till our ambulance transport got there. Then we went to Arnold Palmer Childrens Hospital. She was put on IV antibiotics every 6 hours. Was seen by several docs who basically said we had to wait it out till the infection and swelling went down. Well new years eve The surgeon finally saw her they decided that she did not need to be operated on and cleaned out. That night about 10 they came to do another IV when it started leaking. Well because it was new years eve It was a skeleton staff on our floor and the fact another little girl pulled her IV out, it took till after 1 am to get a new one put in. It took 3 tries but Bean was a trooper. She finally got her Anti biotics and we got some sleep. Well New years day The bacteria cultures came back with preleminary results of no harmful bacteria just a run of the mill facial bacteria. So we got to go home (well back to the hotel).

Fast Fwd to atlanta We got back on the 4th. Went to the Doc monday morning.... they upped her antibiotic dose because it still is infected and open. We go back on this afternoon to do another re-check.

But through everything she was one heck of a tough cookie... nothing seemed to hurt her it was crazy but she HATED having to stay in the room and when we had to wrap her up or put her arm on a board for the IV.

Wow!! Its been a while.....

Well I didnt realize how long it had been since I blogged.... Ok this once again confirms I bite as a blogger. Oh well :) I guess of all my faults being a bad blogger isn't so bad.... LOL.... Anyhow.... If you know me you know my dad has been home since late August. He is doing ok but none of us think he is doing very well... He really isnt supposed to be eating by mouth but thanks giving he sure did which was great that he got to eat but man did it tick me off.... But what can you do.... I just pray that God will look after him and keep food out of his lungs :( sigh any how.... He also is still not driving. And wont be ANY TIME SOON!!!! He keeps fighting with my sis (who has his car hostage) that he has to have his car back but he just isnt that stable. Even his friends say so....

Ok enough of my dad.... sometimes I really do have a lot more to say because I need to vent.... But right now I just wont....


Lets see...... Work was kinda crazy for a while which was sad because I NEVER got to see Hank... This went on till pretty much the end of October. We still dont get to see much of each other but its not so bad these days. We are making it work...

Hank is doing great with his new job and hopefully he will get to move up again very soon!! YAY!! He is now a Dept Manager over Plumbing and Electrical. Now that the store if FINALY open things seem to be moving along very smoothly :).

Bean is doing GREAT!!! She is 20 months old today OMG all just moving so fast. She is definitely more a little girl now and no longer a baby baby. Which really makes me sad. (But not sad enough for number 2 yet) She really has such a personality. She knows what she wants and doesn't and really knows what buttons to push already. This week we are thinking of starting the potty training. She has been interested for a while but with all that's been going on with her it wasn't time yet. (Lots of intestinal issues LONG story but we are limiting dairy these days and no juice at all and things are a little better). Anyway back to potty training... She loves her little potty she just hasn't "christened" it yet lol.

With me nothing major going on.... Just work work...and a bit more work. This weekend we have our preschool Recitals. And now in 21 days starts the Dance troup journey to Disney AHHHH this is a scary thought.... Anyhow Time for late night w/Conan and bed....
