Hospital Stay

So, here's a brief history.  Monday I decided Munchkin might need to see a doctor.  He'd had a fever for 3 days straight and had had one off and one before that.  I couldn't find a walk in (that would let me walk in....a rant on that later) and so called Telehealth Alberta.  They were very helpful and confirmed he should indeed see a doctor and they gave me the addresses of 2 walk in clinics.  We went to the closest one and waited FOREVER.  Then we saw the doctor for a couple of minutes who told me that he had 3 infections, he was most worried about the eye infection and he needed to go to a hospital to receive IV antibiotics.  All right.  Off we go, back home to drop off Little Dude who had been so patient with all the waiting and then off to the closest hospital.  Again, we wait FOREVER, Big E meets us there and stays to find out the deal and then goes home to relieve our friend who is watching Little Dude.  So they do a sinus x-ray and some blood work and then tell me I'm in the wrong hospital that really I need to go to the children's hospital.  Sheesh!  Off we go again.  Anyhoo...we spend a long time in the Emergency ward at the children's hospital before they finally move us up to the pediatric ward.  Munchkin is in isolation so he doesn't get to take full advantage of the fun stuff on the children's floor, but his new room is so nice, with free kids tv, and a spare bed for Mommy or Daddy (who ever is staying the night) and a bed that moves!  What fun!!  He is starting to look pretty normal and we're hopeful that he'll be home by the weekend.  He'll be on antibiotics for several weeks to make sure they've zapped the bacteria causing the infections.  Here are some pictures.
Day 2.  Still in Emerg.  He's actually looking better...but you can still tell that he's got an issue with that eye on your right.

 This is what I got when I said, "Look at Mommy!"  He's got an IV in one hand (it will later pull out twice and they'll poke him 10 times before they finally get one in on his foot.  He is so good about it, lots of crying but stays very still.  Brave little guy!)

 Daddy said, "Smile!"  So he wasn't in a bad mood...just a bit lethargic.

 Once upstairs, his brothers came to visit.  He'd wet the bed and was protesting against pj's.  So, what the heck...sit and watch tv neckid!

 The bed controls....SO FUN!

 A little something for everyone.  :)  There's a spare bed under the window on the left.  Big E's new digs.  :)

We have been so blessed with help from our ward family.  Today someone provided dinner, we've had a few families watching the boys as I can't get time off of work at the moment.  Fortunately Big E's work has given him a sick leave.  It has been wonderful to feel their support at a time when we're all going a little crazy!
