I'm back for a quick update.
A lot is going on here, so I don't have much net time right now.
I just don't want anyone to think that I have forgotten about my journal.
Anywhore,Morgan went to the Dr. last Tuesday and was diagnosed with herpes of the mouth. It's just the viral kind and not the STD kind. The Dr. gave me the option to either try to get more fluids in her or have her admitted. I chose to keep her at home and see how she does. He said that it would get worse before it got better and there really isn't much he can do other then order some numbing med for her mouth. So, she seemed to get worse just like the Dr. said and I was about to bring her back when she started to develop a crazy rash. I could literally watch it grow on her. It was terrible. I took her to the ER on Thur. and they admitted her. She was dehydrated and they couldn't put a name on her rash. It took until Sat. morning until they figured she was having an allergic reaction to the infection in her mouth. They gave her a strong dose of steroids and benadryl and she was much better in a matter of hours. She was released yesterday and is doing much better. I have to say that it was the sickest I have every seen on of my kids. I stayed with her the whole time. If it wasn't for my friend Steph, I would have never gotten a break. She came by on Sat. to be with Morgan, so I could run home and check on the kids and get some clean cloths. Man, that was the best shower. lol
Thank you Stephanie!!!!
Anyway, I just wanted to update real quick before I went and made dinner. I'm still trying to catch up on the lack of sleep the past week so I'm dragging my ass right now.
