Well, it was a busy weekend that just flew right by! Friday, Katelee had a doctor's appointment at Navy. They drew blood for labs.
On Saturday, Olivia and Mom went to the beauty salon for a pedicure. Olivia chose purple for her toenails, while Mom got red. When we returned, we had a message on the machine saying Katelee's blood work had returned positive for a bacteria, and they wanted to do it again to make sure. This meant a trip to the Navy ER. Fortunately, we had a pediatric nurse who poked her this time, and he did a good job (even if he was wearing Texas Longhorn scrubs). They also started her on antibiotics, which meant two shots -- one in each leg.
On Sunday, we had to return to the Navy ER for the second set of shots. Fortunately, they did not have to draw blood again. But, we were at the ER for about 4 hours.
And, that brings us today -- Monday. We had a follow-up appointment at Navy hospital to see the pediatrician. The second lab work came back, and the results were negative for any bacteria infections. So, no more shots; no more pokes.
Ironically, tomorrow is Katelee's 2 month Well-Baby check-up. Hopefully, they won't want to poke her! Poor girl. Yes, she still has diarrhea, but the fever has come down a bit. We'll keep you updated.

Sorry to hear about Katelee being sick.Poor baby, I can relate to all the poking lately! They have to use pediatric needles on me but they wont listen until they try regular ones about 10 times first lol. this time they listened a bit better and only poked me 4 times lol! I will keep Katelee in prayer. I know she will be fine and healthy and strong very soon! Pictures are so cute. she sure is growing fast! Love you all bunches.
