Sunday night I brought Catie to the ER for an infection on her leg. She had some bug bites from 2 weeks ago that she had been scratching and suddenly she had hard swollen areas on her leg, arm and back. This was my first ever trip taking a child to the ER. I guess she managed to get an infection. She is doing much better thanks to benedryl, antibiotic cream - and she was placed on antibiotics again.
Oh and I forgot to mention, but Rosie is also being tested for Lymes. She has abx prescription waiting for her at the pharmacy.
So...today. Augie slipped and fell into the bathtub and lacerated his forehead. Thanks be to God my husband walked in the door 5 minutes later as I was sitting on the floor frantically trying to dial his number. After a visit to the ped, we waited in the ER for the plastic surgeon...who was stuck in surgery and rescheduled us for 8.30am tomorrow moning. So, now I sit...with a lacerated child, praying we make it through the night.
I had to bump back Catie's follow up appointment and Augie's speech therapy to accomodate our morning tomorrow with the plastic surgeon.

Wow, crazy story.
My friend and I are starting up a blog to share stories about Foster Care and Adoption, so if you would like to have your story shared on our blog please feel free to e-mail us your story. You can also share some pictures (obviously not your foster kids) if you would like to. We have both adopted through foster care and are hoping by sharing peoples stories we can help to inspire others to look into Fostering and Adopting children in need. makingbettermemories@hotmail.com
