You got to be freaking kidding me…

So now Deanna is FULLY sick and the doctor is VERY concerned it might be RSV or pneumonia. Denise took the kids into town primarily for Devin’s eye appointment and thought she would take Deanna by Dr. Burchette to have her check to make sure she was okay since she wasn’t breathing well. Okay – first let’s set the stage – Denise went into town around 1130 hrs and waited… Then waited some more… Then waited some more, and then finally had to leave Dr. Burchette’s office because she was going to be late for Devin’s eye appointment. So she left that office to go to the other for her 1330 hrs appoint and then waited there. She wasn’t finished at the eye doctor until 1600 hrs and then was on her way BACK to Dr. Burchette’s office.

Now I hadn’t realized this but while she was waiting before they did to an x-ray of Deanna’s lungs because they were concerned about that. However NO ONE would say or do anything else because of Deanna being so young and premature. I think we both expected Dr. Burchette to say ya – she a little sick – but don’t worry about it. Well, she didn’t say THAT! So she gave her multiple breathing treatments while Denise was there and a bunch of prescriptions for more breathing treatments at home and antibiotics. Denise has to take her back in tomorrow so they can see if the treatment is working. If it is GREAT otherwise they will admit her into the hospital tomorrow to test for the RSV thing or to treat the pneumonia.

Anyway Denise called me around 1800 hrs and said that I should just start heading down there because at the time we didn’t know if they were going to admit her tonight or not. Besides we still had to get the prescriptions filled and there was NO WAY the pharmacy in town would be able to fill it tonight. Basically we got home around 2145 hrs and are planning for a long night…



Devin’s eye appointment went well and he is getting a new prescription for glasses and the optometrist wants him to wear an eye patch on his good eye for two hours three times a week. So that should be fun… Had everything not gone to pieces with Deanna Denise was going to get him a pirate patch… Oh well…
