My daughter has an eye infection - a nasty one.
Our wonderful doctor sent us to the emergency room on Monday for a CT scan.
K was admitted Tuesday morning and is now getting two different IV antibiotics.Oh yeah, she has Mono, too.
Joy.
Northern Michigan Regional Hospital has a wonderful pediatric unit. K got a quilt to keep, a stuffed animal, and they are keeping her well stocked with books, videos, and toys from the toy room. (Note to self - make a couple of crib sized quilts to donate back to the hospital.) They even have a computer the patients and parents can borrow. The doctor and nurses are great, and while it stinks to have to be here, I know she is getting top-notch care.

Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear about this development, Liz. It's just awful to have a kid in the hospital.
I'm sending positive thoughts to all of you ... and extra ones to K for quick healing.
Aww, poor baby! It's so hard, especially for the little ones! Hard on Mom and Dad too! Sending positive thoughts your way for a speedy recovery!
So sorry to hear about the infections. Yuk. Glad to hear you are somewhere that has a good peds ward - makes a lot of difference in the memories esp of the child.

Knowing K is in such good hands is huge. What a blessing to have such good care available in such a remote area of the country.
Best wishes for K's rapid and complete healing.
