That one Father's Day we spent in a hospital.
Monday, June 18, 2012
It has been an adventurous few days around our house. Max went to the ER over the weekend, and was admitted to the hospital for a painful and rapidly-growing abscess on a...um...sensitive part of his body. They took him to surgery a day later to remove the abscess, and have been monitoring it since. The Doc's were concerned it was related to a serious infection, so they had been waiting to get the cultures back to find out. Found out he has a staph infection, and is being treated accordingly, so as long as everything goes well tonight, he'll be coming home in the next day or so.
It has been a long few days. He was by himself for the first 12 hours in the hospital, until I could go be with him (and good friends watched the kids), and was just a little bit chatty after being alone that long! I spent most of the afternoon on Father's Day, in the hospital, waiting for the surgery and hanging out him afterwards. What a happy Father's day for him, huh?!
I had my own Doc appt today (just a baby #3 check) and took the kids along, so we could go see Daddy afterwards. They were really excited to see him, and I could tell it made his day as well. All afternoon yesterday, he kept telling me how much he missed the kids. I'm glad they were able to spend a little time with him today.
Although it's been a slightly exhausting few days, I am thankful everything has gone smoothly and nothing terribly serious was wrong. Just praying for a quick healing and that he is able to come home soon. I would much rather him be here, laying around, than in the hospital where I can't be with him all the time! Oh what adventures we seem to get ourselves into!

ReplyDeleteNot a fun way to spend Father's Day, but at least everything is ok. I'll be praying for him to come home right away. Lot's of hugs!

ReplyDeleteI have to say, the picture of the three of them in the hospital bed is pretty precious though!
