Happy Mother's Day, You get to spend the night at the Children's Hospital

Chad and I are learning that any plans we make are tentative. We had planned a nice home cooked meal for our family plus both of our Mothers, but the Oncology department had a different idea. Charlie had been battling a low grade fever off and on since Thursday from an ear infection. We got a call from the doctor this morning that the bacteria culture from his ear drainage showed that the only antibiotic that will help this type of infection is a special IV type that can only be administered while you are an inpatient and under observation. So we checked into Children's Hospital around 2pm this afternoon to receive what is hopefully the correct medicine this time. He has been on four other antibiotics since the end of March. We did order food and ate with our Mothers here in the hospital room. Nana brought her homemade apple pie and we had a fantastic dessert here as well. We should only be here until tomorrow afternoon, but again, Chad and I have learned not to make any definitive plans :)

Angela,

I caught up on your blog today, what a crazy month it's been for you. You've got a strong little boy in Charlie. Our thoughts prayers are with him and your family. Congratulations on New Baby! Please let us know if there is anything we can help with.
