Saylor
On January5th (day of Carter's birthday party) Saylor was complaining that her foot hurt. Around 7:30pm she showed me her foot. What I saw was a little blister on the side of her foot with a raging ring of redness around her entire foot.
I called to get Nurse Bobbi's opinion, she told me to check for a fever...which she had...then she said I should go into emerg. ASAP.
4 hours later in emergency, they decided to give Saylor IV antibiotics (for the next 3 days) as well as oral antibiotics. They did a swab, x-ray...you name it.
We had to return to the hospital every 12 hours for her to receive her antibiotics through the IV (10am and 10pm)...it was a very long 3 days. Her hospital experience was so positive she didn't want to get the IV catheter out. The nurses at Eagle Ridge treated her like a princess!
She is fine now, finally finished off her oral antibiotics on Monday and her foot is fully healed.

Now we just noticed Carter's pinky toe is 2X the size of the other one...we will return to Eagle Ridge tomorrow to see if it's broken.
