Bloody mosquitos!

Cadence has ended up with such a bad eye infection from a mosquito bite that she has ended up having to be an out-patient for IV anti-biodics. Here eye almost swelled shut through the day, so I took her to the ER. (You could almost see it swelling) Getting the IV in was fine, but keeping it in was tricky. Thankfully Chris was there to hold her. The first IV she pulled away from before they could tape it down. The second one stayed in for 50 minutes of the one hour infusion, before she somehow figured out how to unscrew it, I didn't even know how to do that?!?! I called for help as her blood backed up the line on to her shirt and the medicine spilled out. I was half holding on to her when it happened, Good Grief!! They had to take the IV out, which she should have worn home until tomorrow, but they had to remove it because it was contaminated:(
So tomorrow when we go to the Pediatric Ward for another treatment, she has to have another IV put in, the third one:( She'll see an eye specialist tomorrow and they'll decide how many IV treatments she'll need, probably a few days worth.
Other than that it was a good day:) I got to visit with my good friend Shannon again and my girls have fallen in love with her youngest daughter Taylor who is 10.
My asthma has been acting up again, probably from all the emotions and excitment the last few days. I've had to go back on oral prednisone steriods, I don't like taking them, but I also like breathing properly, so I'll take them.
