Had a problem with the family that was sort of sharing a room with Caroline, divided by two curtains. Their little girl also had a kidney infection but was not as sick as Caroline. In fact, she was downright bouncy and very loud. They were keeping her there to do tests since she apparently gets these infections frequently. Caroline, being in tremendous pain the other night, biting her lip until it bled, used some colorful language before the morphine kicked in. Remember what labor was like? Yes, pretty hard to be civil when you feel like you are dying. Well, they were upset that a few cuss words came out of her mouth. Sorry, my daughter isn't in full control of her emotions right now. You wouldn't have been either.
But after that they were just downright rude to us. Today, the grandmother stuck her head past the curtain to chew me out that Caroline had left the bathroom a bit untidy. I didn't know she hadn't cleaned up after herself but give me a break, she is nearly comatose! I was floored as this lady continued to rant. Well, I guess my very sick child isn't as perfect as your sick child. They left this afternoon and I am relieved to say the least! Caroline was having a hard time with the party going on next door.
Anyway, they did have to reduce her Lithium to introduce the Toredol, so we shall see how it goes. I am tired of the hospital and the food. We haven't seen if the new antibiotics are working or not. I think we are waiting on the last lab culture. We have a lot going on this weekend, but I guess we will all adjust if she isn't home yet.

My son would have some colorful words for that grandmother.
