Toe update.

Sunday morning our pediatrician called to check on Mariah (so nice of him) but he was a little concerned that her toe was still infected. He went ahead and called CHKD and told them to admit us. We sat in the ER for a couple of hours and then a couple more when we actually got through the doors. Finally, later that night they started all of the blood work on her. Watching your three-week-old child get an IV (two attempts of it as well) is not fun. She screamed her head off. Then three trys for a heel stick, the blood was clotting to fast. I will say, the little infant hospital gown was adorable, we almost tried to take it home. We were told to plan on staying 2 to 3 days. They gave her a couple of doses of IV antibiotics and we ended up only having to stay two days. They sent us home late monday night with more antibiotics and some follow up appts. So far it is slowly doing better. Amazing that an ingrown toenail could land you in the hospital. Thank you for all of your prayers!

Oh my goodness! Bless her little heart! I'm glad she's doing better. She's going to be a heartbreaker but, then again...so will her big brother! :)
