The Hospital Visit


We have had quite a week! Mary Kate was put into the hospital on Tuesday afternoon for a severe allerigic reaction to an antibiotic that she was taking for an ear infection. It was not fun at all. She looked horrible. I took her to the doctor on Monday for it and he gave her a shot of steroids. He said that it would take care of it along with some Benadryl. Well, lo and behold, the next day she was worse! Her eyes were swollen and puffy and her face was swollen. When I took her to the doctor people were gasping at her and saying things like, "Bless her heart." Well, we all know what that means! She is doing much better now and looks like her normal self again. It was quite a scare!

Bless her heart...yes, we know what that means! When Patrick had the same reaction (about 9 mos. old), it was the first time I ever took him out in public and nobody cooed over how cute he was. They all just stared or tried to act like they didn't notice.

I hope she's feeling better soon.

Poor little Mary Kate. That picture looks like those pictures of a celebrity who is trying to cover the lens as to not get their picture taken. She's still so very cute. I'm so glad that's over with and hopefully it'll be the last thing she's allergic to!
