Moms Scary Scary Day

So on the 1st Parker had an appointment to go get his ear tubes in so we could finally beat these stupid ear infections. I had to be at the hospital at 6:45 am because Parker was supposed to be the first surgery of the day. After i told them that he had been up with a fever in the night they decided to push him to the end of the line so they could make sure he wouldn't have any problems which was 9 am. Ha Ha is all i have to say to their theory of no problems. they came and took him back and what was supposed to be ten minutes seemed like 30 and then they finally came and got me to come back and see him. When I got back there he was just coming out of anaesthesia and was not happy which is normal except that his heart rate was out of control going back and forth from 210 to the 160's (a baby's heart rate should be 120ish). so all the doctors and nurses were standing around staring at us. they called down the top pediatrician who is a neonatal specialist because they thought he might have malignant hypothermia which effects about 1 in 200 kids after anaesthesia. I was so scared and of course i was alone cause it was only supposed to be a 30 minute thing. by this time it was almost noon and the doctor decoded he was having an allergic reaction to the anaesthesia and he needed to be admitted. at this point he had a fever and needed an I.V. it took 5 nurses and phlebotomists and hour to find a vein on my poor baby. David was out of town and I finally broke down and called my mom in tears and told her to come to the hospital, I was so scared. She got there and preceded to yell at me for not eating all day and she knew cause i was shaking a ton and didn't even know it.

Over the next 2 days his fevers went up and down so high that they were uncomfortable letting him go home. Dr. Qwak thinks because his ears were so infected some other bacteria just moved in and made itself at home so they blasted him with antibiotics for the next 2 days and by about 5 pm on the 3rd they finally discharged us with no real answers except that he is probably allergic to anaesthesia. but he was his usual charming self and made friends with all the doctors and nurses. he is my happy buy but it was a very scary few days.
