karl was discharged this morning and he's doing well this day so far with is. He just took a giant nap. Poor kid, all that poking and proding he got.
The hospital was great though. When we finally for admitted, we were given a nice private room. In the bed were a teady near and a hand made quilt that were donated to every sick kid. I said I'd leave it for someone in need buy I was told if I don't take it, they throw it away. How sad! So I gathered the items and took them home.
Anywho. Thanks to you all leaving comments. In the past few posts. It was a scary night for momma for sure. I won't try to blame myself too much. Thatll be easier since Karl didn't get sick at all. Just a long night at the hospital.
Oh. They really need something better to sleep on for the parents. I got a padded bench. They gave me sheets, pillows and blankets. So that was nice at least. They said I could curl up in the crib with Karl of I wanted. Said that's totally allowed. I took the bench.
Thanks again everyone. Your words then and now mean a lot to me! I don't feel quite so bad of myself for letting this happen after reading your words.

... Once (and still) Infertile, but still Schnarky as hell. This blog is dedicated to the daily ramblings from the mind of Nancy. It isn't about anything profound in the grand scheme of things, but it ~is~ about things in my life, schnarkiness always included. I have a second blog, listed in my profile, but the blogs will continue to remain separate.

About Me

- I am a 39 year old woman. I am the mother of two beautiful daughters and a handsome son. I am a career woman. As for my TTC world, it certainly doesn't seem like I am "infertile", but I fought for my pregnancies and my TTC/IF history is on the sidebar. I have two blogs, which are both listed in my profile. One focuses on my daily life - including IF, TTC, pregnancy, delivery and even some "children mentioned" posts. The second blog is ~soley~ posts directly about being the mother to my three children.

YAY for Karl being ok!! What a relief!
Oh Nancy, I am so glad Karl is ok. Sorry I missed all the chaos and wasn't around to offer my support.
I am SO glad that Karl is doing well. He's just a really strong kiddo. It's funny that you would've been allowed in his crib but when Shmuel and I had to spend the night in the ER right after we got married, the nurse wouldn't let us snuggle on the same gurney. So no fair. ;-) *hugs*
Holy crap! Glad he's doing OK.
I'm so glad to hear that Karl ended up being okay and didn't have any nasty side effects.
So glad he's doing well!
Wow Nancy, I just caught up -- how frightening -- I'm SO relieved for you!
XO,
Pam
Oh Nancy I just read all these posts in a row, you poor sweet!!!! Rocco almost did that exact thing last week, luckily I grabbed them out of his hand in time. Things happen. Thank goodness Karl is OK.
My internet has been down, but yesterday I thought of you all day. Now I know why. (Oh, and you have a package coming.)
LOVE YOU XOXOXOXOX
Whew, I'm glad everything turned out ok!
Hugs! I knew he'd be okay. Still scary though. Enjoy the Red Sox game! Brewers are better. ;)
So sorry to hear that he was sick, but happy to see that he's doing better.
...And for the record your not the "worst" mom, you're human, and he's safe now. Even mommies can learn lessons.
Oh, Nancy! I'm so sorry you've been through all of this. I'm so glad Karl is OK from this. Don't be too hard on yourself. (I know, easier said than done.)
Glad to hear he's okay.
Don't blame yourself at all as it wasn't your fault. These things happen. :)
