I took Jake
to the doctor for strep throat again!! His throat looked terrible so I figured
it was. 3 times in 3 months, surely he will have to have them
taken out. Now his doctor is saying, “if he gets it one more time…” Jayden,
Jacob, and I went from Jake’s doctor appointment, to mine I had scheduled in
Boone. My appointment was not one that could easily be rescheduled and Jake wasn't feeling too lousy. The kids waited in the cafeteria with a snack.
There was more serious happenings going on at the ER in Ames that I did not
know about until I got done with my appointment. My mother had a very painful
infected finger yesterday. I tried to get her to have it looked at then. She
knew it was bad and needed looked at, but she had no idea how bad. She called
to tell me she was going into surgery. The doctors had to lance her finger
thinking it was a blood poisoning. I took the kids home, then headed back into
Ames. I just didn't feel right not being there with my Dad and seeing how
things turned out for Mom. I walked into my moms room as they were wheeling her in. My
Dad was still in the waiting room. Mom woke up right away and told me all the
details. Their pastor stopped in moments after. One of the CDC doctors answered
some questions for us too. After having something to eat with Dad, I headed
home. Later we discovered it was a staph and strep infection. Both very
serious. Praise the Lord Mom did not wait any longer and the infection did not
spread any farther. She will have to stay in the hospital up to 3 days for I.V.
antibiotics.
