What a busy life I have

I can't believe we are already 1/4 of the way through 2012! I'm having a hard time grasping on to the concept of it, really! I guess it's because I've been so busy! It seems like it's one thing after another all the time. I just went through a big ordeal with my daughter Grace being in the hospital with what they thought was Kawasaki's disease.. and it wasn't! She was given a very expensive IVIG treatment that she really didn't need! Then she had a bad migraine headache which is a side affect from the IVIG and they would NOT give her anything!! I was pissed!! Long story short, they released her from the hospital a few hours later after being there for 4 days. As soon as we got home I was rushing her back to the ER because of the migraine again! It took 3- 2mg doses of morphine(6mg total) and 2 shots of Zopran (sp) for the puking to get it under control. ER's do not mess around when it comes to being in pain, that's their #1 policy is pain management. Thank God because I was ready to claw some nurses eyes out when they wouldn't give her anything with the first migraine! She was re-admitted and that's when I said we're going to the children's hospital in Iowa City. I love that hospital! So a couple of doctors put their heads together and gave us a  correct diagnoses within a hour of being there. She just had some really bad run ins with a bunch of flu bugs. She's doing great now! Thanks to God and Jesus and the power of prayer we all made it through it.
