Hospitals...

Yesterday my hubby and I went to his parents house for a 'birthday' dinner. His birthday was on Wednesday and we couldn't really see anyone during the week since he works all night. My in-laws live about 40 minutes away from us in Woodland Park. They made tacos and we were there til 9 o'clock when his mom got a phone call from Billy(my hubby's oldest brother) saying his daughter Sarah needed to go to the hospital. Now the distance from my in-law's to Billy's house is quite far, it's almost a 2 hour drive. My mother in law has horrible night vision and as it was quite dark she was afraid to drive that far. Billy had to be to work so he needed us to get her to the hospital. My hubby and I drove his mom down there and we took the kids to the hospital. (Sarah's brother had to accompany us of course.) At this time it was close to midnight. Sarah has a rash covering her entire body, she spiked a fever of 101 and her legs were swelling a bit. She had to be given an I.V. and my mother-in-law couldn't look at the needle. She was kinda squeamish so my husband and I both went in there with Sarah(she had to have an adult present) while the nurse tried to administer the I.V., we ended up having to hold Sarah down because she wouldn't stop moving and freaking out. She got the needle in and finally calmed down. She had to be given several antibiotics, including Benadryl, which made her sleepy of course. We were there at the hospital until almost 4am when we were finally told they didn't know what was wrong, it could be an allergic reaction, but they didn't know to what. They did however, tell us it wasn't an infection which is good. She was given a couple of prescriptions and we took everyone back to Billy's. We left my mother-in-law with the kids at their house and my hubby and I headed home. It was almost 6am when we got home. I hope Sarah's doing better, I haven't heard from anyone today.
