Hospital Stay.

So,
My youngest bambina was in the hospital for a week!
Mos Def,
one of the longest weeks of my life.
It started with a pimple on
the bambina's chin.
Which turned into what looked like a spider bite.
When the skin around it started to get red and swollen,
i took her to the doctor [Friday].
She was given antibiotics and sent home.
The next day,
She woke up very swollen and the redness was spreading,
i called the doctor.
Her normal pediatrician was off for the weekend,
his partner spoke with me.
He said not too much to worry about.
Around 4:00pm
i called again.
Chaz got up from her nap, and the redness was halfway across her chin and
up across her jaw.
I said we're going to the hospital
and called the doctor.
We waited in the ER for 2.5 hours.
Finally got in the treatment room,
they started an iv with antibiotics.
By 11pm,
i was calling daddy to pick up my big bambina
because the little one was being admitted.
The second day in the hospital and the infection covered
half her chin all the way up behind her ear.

A week of antibiotics, no sleep, and hospital food later,
and we're finally back at the homless shizzle.
Yay for us.
The bambina was diagnosed with "MRSA"
the one thing i was trying sooo
hard to keep her from getting!
Ain't life grand.
