Cody did well through the night and today.  I did ok.  I started to lose it as soon as I walked into the building.  I had my moments throughout the day. I made it through the day because of the support from ALL of my friends at work...thank you.  I am amazed that there is so much compassion and caring people all in one building.  Bernadette, you really are my right hand.  It is great working with you and we are an awesome team.  Thanks for having my back...literally.

So I had wanted to sit down with the drs today and thankfully one of the drs on the team was there for me.  I needed to try to piece all this together.  So Cody has/had sepsis.  It is a BAD blood infection.  He was in septic shock. Don't google it or you will be as sick to your stomach as I am.   Thank goodness, he is strong and pulled through.  Thank goodness for the team there that knew what to do and reacted quickly.  Scary to look back and think about all this.  This caused the blood pressure drops and heart rate acceleration. This caused the hemo to drop.  His cramps are from the c-diff.  We are still waiting on the cultures which can take up 72 hours to grow anything.  He will be in the hospital through the weekend.  I went after work today and will go tomorrow after work and stay for the weekend.  We will take it from there.  I will actually be happy once I am there chilling with him.  He needs his independence and I get that.  But I need to be a mom too.  It's tough.

Thank you to our friends that we met through CFK.  The cubscout cards were adorable.  Cody enjoyed reading them, perfect.  Thank you for the gift card too.  He was thrilled!!  

Again, I am so lucky to have all of you.  I wish my family were here but I know they are a plane ride away.  Soon, we will have visitors again.  

Have a good night all!  XOXOXOXO
