Thing's are never dull at the Walker house that is for sure! The stomach flu made a stop at our house of course getting all of the kids sick, however what it did to Connor was much worse than the rest. On Saturday night the 11th he was really sick after a night of no sleep and constant vomiting (i know i know to much information) I finally decided to take him to the ER at 4am. It was a very exhausting night for all of us....After some fluids, having to drink some nasty contrast that he didn't like to much and getting a CT scan we found out that he actually had an infection of the lymph nodes in his abdominal cavity...there is some fancy dancy medical term that goes along with it but I have no idea even how to say it let alone spell it...lol...Anyhow, Dr. Redd admitted Connor on Sunday and he stayed until Tuesday getting constant fluids and anti-nausea medicine. It finally calmed down and they let us break out of there on Tuesday not early enough for any of us! Connor was a trooper thru all of it...even after the lab tech poked and prodded him a gazillion times to get his blood, he cried for daddy to come poke him and once Jim stepped in the room the lab tech wouldn't touch Connor again she kept saying Jim you do it you do it...Well he got it and we were all good!! Some days that Paramedic license does come in handy!
An emergency room visit $100, A CT Scan w/contrast that tastes HORRIBLE when you are already sick to your stomach another $100 bucks.....The fact that my kids cry for their Daddy to be the one to draw their blood or start IV's PRICELESS!!
I think MasterCard has a new spokesperson!
