So many things have been going on since our trip to Texas, it's hard for me to even begin! So I guess I'll start from the beginning! Madison and I got home on Saturday June 25th from Texas, and got to spend the night and all day Sunday with Justin. Monday morning Justin left for a work trip to West Virginia, and Madison and I stayed home. Sunday evening she started running a fever, so I attributed it to the travel, gave her some Tylenol and decided to monitor her temp closely. Monday she was still running hot, so I called the pediatrician and she said it was most likely from the trip and to give her more Tylenol and watch closely. Tuesday she was still running a fever so off to the doc we went. After her exam the doc said the same as she said Monday and sent us home. Tuesday and Wednesday we viewed some homes with our real estate agent...
Wednesday I decided to make an offer on one of the houses that Madi and I looked at, with out Justin seeing it in person!
Thursday we were back at the doctor, and this time she did a ton of tests. After being sent all over town to get blood drawn and antibiotics administered we went home...only to be sent to the hospital that night! Yes, she was admitted to the hospital again!! I was terrified, Justin was in West Virginia, and Justin's mom and grandma were flying in that evening at 4:45 for a visit....we were supposed to go into the city to get them.
Madison and I got to the hospital around 5, Jean and Grandma Anne rented a car, and Justin was on his way home from WV. Everyone made it to the hospital before 10pm.....Still no answers on what was wrong with Madi, but they were pretty sure it was a UTI or Kidney infection.
Friday morning we found out that our offer was accepted!!! We are now under contract! woohoo!
Friday night they did an ultrasound on Madison's kidneys, bladder, lungs, and heart....all checked out fine! At this point we were waiting on the blood and urine cultures to produce their results. All the while she was getting IV antibiotics and had no fever since 4 am Friday.
Spent all day Saturday in the hospital and were discharged Sunday around 11am with antibiotics....it was in fact a UTI. Now we will go in next week for more tests to find out why she has had 2 of them in her short life. If it is kidney reflux the Dr says most babies grow out of it quickly, and if not there is a nonsurgical way to correct it!
It has been a whirlwind for sure but we are just so happy to have her home!! Bethany is still in Texas, and we cannot wait for her to get home!!!
