Happy Halloween!!!

by the way...Carly is SCARED of Halloween

Hospital again

Carly was back at PCH for a week.

I took her in for a high fever and spent 6 hours at the ER. She tested positive for Influenza B so they started her on tamaflu and sent us home. The next day was sunday and she didn't seem to be doing any better. Still had a high fever, throwing up, lethargic, and wouldn't eat or drink. Finally we decided that she needed to go back. I got her in the car and as soon as I started to back out Carly threw up again. I ran in the house to grab a towel and a change of clothes so I could change her at the hospital. We finally got down the road and she started throwing up again and blacking out. I called Thad and told him we were coming home and to call the ambulance. He met us at the driveway and grabbed Carly out of the car. I called my parents (who had just gotten to Idaho and asked if my mom could fly home to be with me). The ambulance came and took us to Del Webb. My sister met us at the hospital since Thad had to stay at home with the other two kids. They started running tests. They found she had pneumonia, kidney infection, ear infection and the flu. Transport was called so we could be transferred to PCH. Guess who was standing outside the ambulance doors when they opened? My mom!!! She got a flight from Idaho Falls, connected in Salt Lake and her friends happened to be on the same flight so they brought her right to the hospital. Carly was treated for severe dehydration, pneumonia, and the flu. She had a VCUG and found she has grade 2 kidney reflux...guess that's where all her bladder infections were coming from...so they started her on a daily antibiotic. The good thing is that there were no complications with her shunt. So after a week we were finally released. Good times at PCH!
