On Sunday her fever went to 103.8*, which is high for her, since she doesn't run a fever. Cookie was with her and took her back to the ER. Ashley came to babysit with Kenny. Mandy had gone home to be with Xavier for a bit, but went back to the hospital to be with Susie. They all kept me informed with text messages. By Monday I was ready to go home. They were running a CT scan to see of it was her apendix. They also called in the infectious disease doctor too. She was put in isolation since they had no idea what was going on. I spent Monday day and night with her. We had ice packs in her armpits and groin to lower her temp. Also they brought in a water cooling bed for her to lay on. She was still getting a lot of IV antibiotics, pain meds, Tylenol, and motrin. Between it all her fever finally dropped at 4:30 am on Tuesday.
Kenny spent Tuesday night with her and Maddie (Dolly) spent the night with us. It was different having a baby around again. Dachser loved her. Everytime she cried he would run over to the cradle and look in and whine at me to do something. LOL!!
On Wednesday I was able to bring Maddie up to see her mom. Susie was so glad to see her. Mandy had taken Maddie home with her so Xavier and Maddie could play. Mandy said Xavier went around the house telling her "No-No" to all the bad stuff, under the kitchen sink, the oven, etc. LOL! He had someone to boss around now. He loves to put his foot up next to hers to see how big his foot is and how little Maddie's is.
Susie got to go home finally that afternoon. She is still on antibiotics. her Dr. said it was so serious that if she had waited until the Tuesday after the holiday she would have had to have a hystorectomy. I am so glad she went when she did.
Thanks to all who were there to help Susie and Dolly. Also thanks for all the prayers too. We are so very blessed to have family and friends there when we need them. Well sometimes our family is there when we don't need them too. LOL
Love,
Mickey
