Extremely emotional day!

OK, here goes.... So I come home from the gym this morning and Liv's eye looks like this. Not that bad right? I call the Doctor, nothing open so I head to urgent care. There is only one person in the waiting room and I think "YES" we'll get a prescription and be out of here in no time. Yeah right! The Dr. notices that the area around her eye looks too swollen and is concerned that its Periorbital Cellulitis. The scare is that if the infection is deep in her eye it could be serious. The recommend is to go have a CT scan done to make sure thats not the case.
We get to Valley Children's around11:30. (thank goodness I thought to stop home first and pick up snacks, books, and Liv's baby, seriously that saved me) We get called back to the patient area after about 2 hours in the waiting room. By this time Olivia is scared and tired and keeps asking if she can just go home. I get her to sleep and she wakes up feeling a little better.

After another few hours, the doctor comes to look at her eye. By this time, the other eye doesn't look so great either. The Dr. consults with another Dr. and they decide that she should definitely have a CT scan. If the results are positive that the infection is deep she would be admitted with IV antibiotics.

An IV has to be put in to do the CT scan anyway and to do some blood tests. This is about the point that I break down. There is nothing worse than having to see your baby scared and hurting and knowing you cant fix it and that it might have to get worse for her. Liv actually did really good and was very brave.

They do the scan and again Liv does really good. I've pulled myself together at this point. Now we can just wait for the results. Yes, another few hours.

The results come in. NEGATIVE! In fact, Olivia actually has a bad sinus infection. Go figure.
As soon as they said we could go home, Liv was thrilled.

So, you're thinking the day is done right? Not exactly. We get home, and I drop Liv off to Chris, who is getting Haley and Morgan ready for bed at this point. I go back to the van to go get Olivia's prescriptions and the van is DEAD! 3rd time in 2 weeks! (that's a whole other story I don't even have the energy to go into) Chris's game night friends are here and Bry lets me take his car so I don't have to drive Chris's un air conditioned truck. I turn in the prescriptions at Target, and as I'm walking around the store eating a bag of candy,(shoot, after my day, I totally didn't feel guilty! I was chomping away!) I get paged over the store intercom. So, now I'm totally embarrassed, and I make my way back to the pharmacy. They only have one of the prescriptions, the other can be ready tomorrow. There actually is even more, but I will save you all the details. I am so done with today! I am very grateful that my baby is fine. I know it was a huge blessing that my van made it home and that I wasn't stranded somewhere. I am so thankful that Chris has a job and that we are blessed with good insurance. For now, I'm going to bed! I'll have to tackle everything else tomorrow.
