Things in the hospital can take forever. This shouldn't be news to anyone, but boy... it's annoying. At 11am, they decided to admit us. By 12:30, we got to our floor. By, oh, nearly 3 they got him into the system. We saw the vascular access team at 4:30, and didn't get the orders for his meds til 5:30. Didn't GET the meds til 8:30. So, we ran around the floor all crazy most of the day because he had no reason to be in his room... Not my favorite way to spend the day!
He's on i.v. vancomycin and rocephin (for my LM friends), two potent drugs. i haven't had the nerve to as if the delay will cause us to be here another night. We're on contact precautions i guess, which means the nurses are supposed to be wearing gowns and gloves... They told me that a few minutes ago. So that probably means we can't leave the room, which is bad news for a 2 year old who feels otherwise fine. His meds will run for 2 1/2 hours a day, otherwise he's unattached and in a room... oohh child life! Could be a very long day tomorrow and Sunday.
He's fast asleep now and finally getting his meds. Patience, Brittany... or, go to sleep. That's good too. He doesn't have ANY night meds.. only vitals every 4 hours.. yippee!
