Hook me up with a MARTINI IV Pleeease.....
OK Sean... did you get that? Need a full 5ooo cc's. of Martini waiting for me in Chicago when we land....
We are HOME thank you lord... Things are looking up. Eva was a real trooper... cause when you are 3, Hospitals are scary places... she endured like 20 blood tests... a CAT scan, a Spinal...(worst for me... I guess both of us...)
The Dr.s are pretty sure it is Lyme Disease she has contracted...won't know for sure until tomorrow... but at this point we are praying that is what it is. & it looks like we caught it early.... just wondering how I could have missed a tick on her little body.
I think my lucky stars that Eva got sick +facial paralysis at the same time... or I may not have taken her to the emergency room as fast as I did.
Her face wasn't so noticeable 2 days ago.... only when she was crying...
I am hoping that it is getting better instead of worse.... but I am not sure....
The Spinal tap showed bacteria/infection... Lyme Disease is treatable with 14 days of IV antibiotics... which means technically, she will be hospitalized for 14 days... but she gets to sleep at home... Whatever... I am just glad to be home.
Have to say...despite all of my bitching about Bjørns treatment... the Pediatric ward has been SUPERB..... they took very good care of BOTH of us...
If all goes well, her treatment will be finished on the 21st.... we are supposed to fly home on the 23rd. Oh everyone... CROSS YOUR FINGERS for me.... if I miss my sisters wedding... I think I will seriously lose it! SERIOUSLY... I am so needing an AMERICAN fix it isn't even funny... and darn it.... after the last 3 weeks I have earned it the hard way!
NEXT POST.... LOVE HER...but my mother in Law is making me NUTS!

I wish your whole family as speedy a recovery as possible from all of this. God, I just can't even imagine how you're holding up through all of this.
Martinis followed by straight shots of tequila, I'd say!
You surely need more than a martini - though I'm sure it will have to do for now.
Thinking of you as always...
I'm so glad you got better treatment this time and keeping my fingers and toes crossed, that all will well with your little one's recovery.
How did your hubby's surgery go?
