So yesterday I went to pick up Makayla from Mikeys mom. They had been watching her so i could enjoy Wicked with my mom and other family members. I had been at Instacare, for my back. I call her around 4:30, and she informs me that Makayla was bitten by their damn cat. She makes it sound like no big deal, and that Makayla is fine. However, when I picked her up, her hand was the size of a tomato. And red as one as well. We went over to my moms, where she tells me to go to instacare. So we pack up and go. Instacare had an hour and a half wait time,and the nurse there said that I should probably be taking.g her to the ER anyways, as cat bites are nasty, and need immediate attention. The ER got us in right away, and the nurse came in to talk to us, and informed me that Makayla would be getting xrays, to make sure no pieces of the damn cats teeth had broken off into her hand. He then went on to tell me she would need an IV, to have blood drawn, so they could run tests. Ok, fine. We get all this going, and I had been talking to my mom, who said that Sophia was at the ER with her son, who had taken a major fall during a 50 mile bike ride. (Boys are INSANE..) so I texted her, and they happened to be right next door! Sophia's hubby Doug was able to give Makayla a blessing, and I believe with all my heart that it has already helped immensely. Then the doctor came in. And informed me that Makayla was going to be admitted. For two or three days. (Help.me.rhonda.) AND, if the IV drip of antibiotics doesn't work, the suregon will have to sedate her, and cut open her bites, and drain the infection.
So far, Makayla has been amazing thru all of this. She let them poke her arm to put the IV tube in, she stayed still while they drew blood, she cooperated while they got xrays, and has actually let the IV alone, and not tried to pull ot out. We got to the ER at 5:30 Saturday night. Finally around 9:15, they took us upstairs to our room. My mom stayed until about 10:30. After crying for almost a half hour, Makayla fell asleep. My poor baby girl just wanted to go home and sleep in mommy's bed...made my heart ache..its now 3 am, and I can't sleep. I'm so worried, and my mind just wont calm down, and the tears wont stop coming..I pray to my God that everything will work out, and that she will be ok..because I know I wont be if things don't get better ...
Oh, and if your wondering where Mikey is during all of this- I called him when we got to the ER. Makayla was unfortunately wanting him. I asked if he would come up, for his daughter. He asked if he had to. If he was needed. Wasn't it something I could just do? ......I said a few choice words and hung up. I've been sending him updates, and sending pictures. Still no reply. What a piece of sh*t right???
