Home and Back

Mary had a great night and was feeling so much better this morning she was allowed to come home. Unfortunately when we arrived home , Gemma was still VERY sick . So back top Hopkins I went with Gemma. Oxygen , fluids, 2 I.V. antibiotics and hopefully this will knock this nasty virus out. When her fever is gone and she is feeling better she will get her blood transfusion . Back to the same floor I had just left with Mary.
Then this afternoon Ed calls to tell me that Mary has started throwing up again . So I call her Doctor who calls in an anti nausea med. to the pharmacy with the hope that this will stop the vomiting. No luck , she can not even keep the medicine down. SOOO , Ed is now on HIS way to Hopkins with Mary to have her readmitted ! Unbelievable, the only thing that can make this day worse if for Grandmom to call and say Teresa has a fever and is sick .
Trying to figure out how to be in 2 hospital rooms at the same time with 2 sick kiddos. Ed will have to go home and be with Teresa tonight because she has too many meds. she has to take before going to bed and oxygen .
Praying for Mary and Gemma to feel better, Teresa to some how avoid all these viruses and the strength to make it through yet another sleepless night .

  1. Dear Ann ,

    I wish I lived closer to help. I will be praying daily for you and the girls and tomorrow offering my mass for them. I will also make sure all the girls on our adoption advocate prayer list.

    God Bless,
