Hospitals!!!

Well yesterday turned out pretty eventful... Jess has been sick since Friday. Mostly congested but didn't eat real well Saturday until we got her some heavy meds. :( Yesterday morning, upon propping my bare feet on the coffee table while drinking coffee, I noticed a red streak going up the side of my foot from an abrasion that was accidentally self-inflicted from an overdone pedicure. Well, of course, this is serious so we decided to make an emergent visit to the hospital and while there have Jesse checked out too... I had to get a tetanus shot... as most know, this is something you need every 10 years and I haven't had the need for one in that time plus this was infection brewing and tetanus usually forms from bacteria collected on a wound to the foot. Gross, I know... but the facts. I was also given 875 mg of super strong antibiotics to take twice a day.

Jesse was tested for STREP and all is clear though but she was put on Amoxicillin and a decongestant. She has been sleeping so heavy and so sound it's almost freaky. She is not a snorer at all but has been the last few nights and days (during naps). I've been salving her down with vapor rub and we have vaposteam in the vaporizer going by her room. We both go in to the Dr. for a follow up, hopefully, tomorrow if I can get us in.

So this was our weekend, I am behind on homework and the housework can basically just sit. lol.
