In the ER (again)

3:15 a.m.
I don't like riding in an ambulance. Shelby does. She thinks its cool. Of course, she slept for all but, maybe, 15 minutes of the ride. We're settled somewhat. Shelby wants to go home. We are spoiled in Rockford with single rooms; here we have a roommate. Its just different, you know. Not what we're used to. I guess in the morning we'll see what the game plan is...
12:08 a.m.
Our ambulance is here to transport us to Chicago. This is all new to us. I'll update when we arrive and are settled in our room.
10:12 p.m.
Change of plans. The hospitalist here thinks it would be best if Shelby is transferred to Chicago. Calls are being made by the ER doc. We are scrambling...I totally didn't expect this.
9:40 p.m.
Being admitted. Turns out the bacteria for her (now upgraded to) kidney infection does not respond to anything in the penicillin family. It only responds to the antibiotics that she's allergic to :-(. There is an antibiotic she can take, but it only comes in IV form. So, that's the plan. Because of her test on Tuesday, they may try while she's inpatient to give her one of the antibiotics she's allergic to and see how she reacts - scary! Now we wait to be moved upstairs.
6:57 p.m.
Shelby's temp has not gone lower than 100 since Thursday evening. It should since she's on an antibiotic. I have her back in the ER to be checked out. We have to get rid of this fever for her to have her MRI on Tuesday! More updates to come...
