Yeah. And on top of that this Daylight Saving Crap. I mean shit, WWI ended at least 20 years ago and even if hitler was still around he'd be too old to kick the crap out of anyone let alone stand on a corner in Bolivia cranking an organ grinder with a friggin' pet monkey taking donations. Of course that motorcycle helmet law supporting bitch Joan Claybrook might take him in. Oh yeah, the govoner of N.Y. is a "john" and sweet 70 year old Mary Ann from Gilligans Island is busted with pot!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Anyone seen my beer?

Hey you hobos, give my baby a thought tonight.

Image

She's been nursing a cold for a week, but last night, some d*mn bug punched a hole through her sinus and got around her left eye, and overnight, it swelled up shut, and red as a Farmall. She was a 'direct' admission to my hospital, as our pediatrician thought it was sufficiently urgent to bypass the ER process, and tonight she's getting a CAT scan to see if there's a pocket of infection and if so, how close to her brain. At best, it's IV antibiotics. Worse, the OR to drain and wash, and worst, it develops into meningitis.

A good friend once said she had a heart as big as the Pennsy mainline, and that was no lie or exaggeration. Tough to see your kid laid low, when you would do anything in your power to take her place.

Pete, I'll put in a word with the Lord tonight, and because of my intimate relationship with the Almighty, uh, er, well, I'll put in a word.

Pete,

Leah is in our prayer requests. Know what you mean about wishing you could do something, anything, even take her place.

Pete, I'm overwhelmed by the news. Having been in the hospital repeatedly as a child, I know exactly what she's going through. If there is anything I can do, let me know. Beyond that, please tell Leah I'm thinking of her. It might be helpful to promise her some special surprise when she gets out. I still remember my father promising me a case of Nesbitt's orange pop. I kept thinking about that and it helped take my mind of the other stuff.

Thanks, all of you.
I'm writing from the hospital. She was seen by Ophthalmology at 10:30 last night, then ENT @ midnight, and they did a nasal rinse. Despite antibiotics by IV at midnight and 8 today, her eye looks worse. At 11:30, shes going to get a PICC line under sedation, (super-duty intravenous line), and if she doesn't improve with the meds, she's still facing the OR to incise and rinse behind her eye. CAT scan showed no big pocket of infection, so that's good.
She's in good spirits, but then, she's a tough little nut.
More later.

I get by with a little help from my friends.
