Hospital..

Yes, you read right one of my children is in the hospital. Konner is the not so lucky child at this time. It started out as a ear infection/drainage with some slight ear pain. After about a week and it not getting any better with me putting ear drops in 3 times a day and his ear getting swollen I called the doctor and made an appointment that night. The doctor seemed to think we would need to be put in the hospital, but gave him a shot and a script of antibiotics to see if that would help over the night and wanted us back early the next morning to check him out. Unfortunately it had gotten worse over night and he sent Konner to the hospital to be admitted to the hospital for at least 5 days if not up to 10 days. They say that he has mastoiditis (infection of the mastoid bone in the skull) it is not a good thing, but they think that the antibiotics will take care of it. He also is having surgery right now to take his tubes out, drain his ear, clean it, and take a sample of the infection to see what we are dealing with defiantly. He has been so good these past 2 days in the hospital not complaining about anything. They put his iv in his arm and he didn't even whimper not even when they took it out and moved it to a different spot in his arm. He had a little rough time today b/c he could not eat from 5am to after his surgery at 3pm poor little guy. They have a great kids floor with tons of stuff for him to do movies, playroom, ps2 for him to play, and any arts or crafts that he might want to do. Hopefully he will be out of surgery soon and it will not be as bad as we thought it was.
