I am having trouble getting my act together today. 2 days ago, my 7 year old stepped on a nail. 24 hours later, we were at Children's Hospital overnight getting IV antibiotics for the cellulitis he developed......He was released mostly because my husband played the doctor card; they wanted to keep him for a day for more IV. Now he's home (Yeah!) on oral antibiotics with instructions to keep him off the foot. I feel like I need to be extra-vigilant in taking care of him since both the ER doc and his ped the next morning thought he should have been in the hospital. I get the impression that they think it is ok for him to be home, but that we better be ultra responsible about meds/wound care. Clearly, I am being careful, but it also has me feeling very worried. He is getting better so far. Enter my next complication......today is my daughter's 5th birthday. She is SOOOOOO excited. We are having a special family dinner tonight and I did manage to get her a few presents before this foot thing happened. Still, my hubby has the car and my son can't walk so we are house bound for the day in our city apartment. I can't think of anything to do for her that is special!!!! I am completely brain-dead in the creative mommy department. She has talked to all the grandparents/friends on the phone and we are making her birthday cake later. Still dinner is at 7 pm and it's only 10 am here---the house is a mess of moving boxes and DH asked me to wait till he gets home to open her presents. What can I do? I'm going to drink coffee. I'm usually more creative when caffeinated.
