Hannah....

So, we find ourselves in the hospital with Hannah again...she woke up Wednesday night/early Thursday morning to eat and she felt warm, so we checked her temp (always a less than pleasant experience in and of itself.) She had a temp of 101.8, so we called the Dr's answering service since they drill it into ones head to call for infants with a temp over like....100. So the health connections nurse said to bring her to the E.R, so we did, certainly not thinking we'd be admitted. Well, guess what! We were wrong. Turns out she has a urinary tract infection, which puzzles me exceedingly, and a respiratory infection (i.e cold). So, to be honest, I'm not sure why they didn't give her a prescription for oral antibiotics and have us follow up with her regular pediatrician but they didn't. So she's admitted at Stormont getting IV antibiotics and waiting for cultures to come back....again...familiar situation eh? Results should be back early, early a.m Saturday so hopefully they'll cut us loose this weekend. I wish I'd just given her the tylenol, managed the fever myself overnight and called the peds office in the a.m, but I didn't.....I did what they told me to do and now we're paying for it, quite literally. I can't imagine the the treatment plan would have been remotely the same if I'd just gone to the office.
