Hospital day 4.
Irony.
Irony is;
when you discover that your daughter has mycoplasma pneumonia and the hospital doctor tells you the best oral antibiotic to treat it is the very same long term antibiotic (Erythromycin) that your paediatrician only ceased a fortnight ago, in favour of Keflex.
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!
So, here we sit on three different IV antibiotics, waiting for her lungs to come […]

Wheezy, wheezy…
Not to be outdone by his sister’s recent hospitalisations, Noah decided to drop his bundle today and with oxygen sats in the high 80’s earned himself a trip to the hospital in an ambulance.
Abandoned by our paediatrician, once more, we hospital hopped from the local, rural ER to our secondary in our trusty ‘am blue […]

The walls of the room are pink.
The lounge that is also my bed is bottle green. Oh bottle green, the colour of torture. It sits to the right of her bed and grins at me, with large gaping mouth, the monster, who will steal what is left of my sleep.
The floors are a beige linolium, just perfect for catching various bodily […]

So here we are.
The paed called late on Friday night and I told him the Ivygirl was sick, really sick.
You know, that frightened, sick in the guts, knot in your throat, something bad is happening worry that you get when someone special is sick?
Yeah, that’s been me for a large part of the week. (As if you guys […]

We fails it (it is staying out of hospital).
Yes, Ivy has returned to hospital today. Just in time for the long weekend. So it’s a good thing we didn’t make any plans. Besides, the weather is lousy.
A lingering infection, unresponsive to oral antibiotics. Also murmurs of a new immunosuppressant drug to try … if […]

Weekly Winners.
My WeeklyWinners are definitely a reflection of my week…except for the last one, which is proof of my husband’s OCD out of control while we were camping. Yes, he is sweeping the tarpaulin. Go to Sarcastic Mom’s blog to see more winners.
Ivy’s dreaded otoscope.
Oxygen outlet.
Ivy’s ’special’ her IV drip lasted the full four days this […]

Home.
Ivy finally stable and waiting admission to the ward.
It was so scary on Wednesday morning.
I couldn’t wake her up.
Two febrile convulsions and I knew she was really sick.
We had been chugging along at half health for a couple of weeks and then things went curly.
Bacteraemia. In old terms: blood sepsis.
She did not wake for 24 […]
