Rough weekend.....

Saturday morning didn't start off so well.  Cammie woke me up around 630 and said her stomach hurt.  She does say that when she is hungry and then after she eats she will say that her stomach is all better.  So I got her something to eat and when she went to climb up on her chair she just stopped and screamed and then doubled over saying that her stomach hurt.  She kept grabbing her right side so I was afraid it was her appendix.  She kept saying how badly it hurt and crying so I called Joe who was still at work and told him that I was taking her to the ER.  She was quiet all the way to the firehouse to pick him up which is odd.  Anyway, we got to the Peds ER at HCGH and they took us right back.  They did a urine cath first which Cammie took like a champ, she held very still and cried but didn't fight.  Then we went to xray and she did really good holding still, after all they were taking pictures of her!!  So after a bit the doctor came in, (she had come in and examined her before the xray) and said that Cammie was backed up pretty far.  So as if the urine cath hadn't violated her enough she had to get a soapsuds enema.  She took that not as well but did hold still for the whole thing.  That seemed to work pretty well and they told us to give her 3 days of milk of magnesia and a week of miralax.  The Peds ER is pretty nice, the nurses were nice.  So she did pretty well for the rest of the afternoon, she took a nap which is odd and then laid on the couch with Joe for a while.  I tried to go to Sun Nursery to get a couple  more pots to plant our trees in but that place had a line waiting out of the parking lot.  We managed something for dinner and went to bed.  It seemed like Cammie had a fever during the night but she slept pretty well.  Sunday she did OK with the miralax and it seemed to be working.  Uncle Gary and Uncle Munkle came over in the afternoon and she was very happy to see them.  We all hung out and Joe fixed us dinner.  At one point when I went to change Cammie she seemed like she had a fever again and when I finished her diaper change she promptly fell asleep on the bed.  Which is odd.  She didn't eat much and had a rough night Sunday night. I called to schedule her a follow up with her pediatrician this morning and she said that her stomach seemed OK but to decrease the dose of the miralax and keep it going longer.  BUT then she checked her throat and said it looked really red and her tonsils were swollen.  UGH, so she did a strep test which of course came back positive.  We left there to go pick up her amoxicillin and I had to cancel her play date at Missi's with Morgan.  Joe and I were supposed to go to Cammie's preschool orientation this evening.  However when they called to confirm I said that one of us would be there since Cammie had strep and they said they would prefer that I not attend since I'm potentially contagious too.  We were also supposed to meet Meaghan and Nathan tomorrow so I have had to reschedule a bunch of stuff. Oh and the whole giving Cammie her amoxicillin is a real treat.  The first dose she threw up on me and I tried again and she spit it at me.  I got a bunch of advice off of facebook and tried to give it to while she was laying on the floor and I got most of it in her.  Then she crashed on the couch for about an hour.  The rest of the evening has been full of tears, screaming, medicine, showers and I don't know what else.  Now Her Highness is raring to go which means she'll crash in a bit.  I hope the night goes well.

I just saw that Rick Springfield is going to guest star on Hawaii Five-O tonight.  Hmmmm.....  I'm also hoping that my Dad is feeling better, and also my Aunt Debby!!  Lots of love to you guys!
AND since I get to subject everyone to my opinion---- ROT IN HELL OSAMA!!
