January 2011

Coming back from Christmas break I had two weeks of work left before I was to become a stay at home Mom.  It was January 5th, Granna had come to Starkville to keep Cayden and Keelie.  The day before I had taken Cayden to the Dr.  She was diagnosed with the flu.  Mom called me then sent me a text to call her ASAP.  Keelie had stopped breathing at my house when she was crying.  Mom got her settled down but headed to Amory to the Dr. office.  They knew we were coming.  I was behind.  We met in West Point.  By the time we got to Amory Keelie's fever was 103.00.  I asked for some Tylenol there.  Scared she was going to have a febrile seizure.  We got called back and Keelie was really bad.  She got upset and quit breathing while we were there.  She turned blue.  The Dr. put her on epinephrine and 5% oxygen.  Once she was good enough to be transported the nurse took her to the hospital. She remained on oxygen.  After many tests, Keelie was diagnosed with the flu, tracheal bronchitis, and she was in respiratory distress.  We were admitted for 3 days.  She was under an oxygen tent, had breathing treatments every 3 hours, and was given many meds through IV.  So I had two weeks of work left and I missed the first one.  What a way to finish out a job.......  This is just the beginning of the SAGA!!!!!!!
