Kids ganging up

Come on kids seriously!!! What exactly is going on here? OK this is a venting blog.... here goes.
We were released from the hospital yesterday afternoon as the drainage stopped or should I say there is no more blood thank God, she is currently still on the antibiotic ear drops along with oral antibiotics with side effects of diarrhea and getting better everyday. Thank God
Maddi still has his persistent fever which has been going on for 2 wks, along with spurts of diarrhea also, we did lab work on him yesterday some of the results are in which shows he is close to dehydration and his white blood cells are high which shows signs of an infection so waiting for the other test results to come back and pushing as much liquids as we can. We will be trying the pedialyte pops tomorrow hope he likes it.
Now for the whopper Troy sprained his ankle ( or so we think ) tonight at football he looks like big foot right now. He can't put pressure on it he's on crutches; I tell you this has to be a conspiracy!! Kids I'm warning you all cut it out!! Your mother's heart cannot take it.
His foot is so swollen I'm not sure if he can get them into shoes tomorrow for school ... crazy just crazy.

Sanaa's update

Hi everyone
So as you may or may not know we are in the hospital at St. Barnabas since last afternoon. Sanaa' is bleeding from her right ear and quite frankly I'm not sure if what they are saying to us make any sense but who knows I'm not a Dr but I'm not just gonna take what they are saying in stride until I can speak directly to her ENT.
History: About a wk and half ago noticed real funky smell coming from her ear took her in to Dr he gave her ear drops, once ear drop started all this goopy stuff started coming out mix of pus and blood real sticky, about Wednesday smell subsided still yucky stuff. Friday just pus coming out, Saturday bright red running blood I wipe it, it comes back repeat.
Tried calling dr all afternoon Saturday no response from him took her to St.Claire's ER offered her antibiotics sent her home. Sunday morning woke up still bleeding called Dr finally he responded said to take her immediately to ER St.B. they tried to look in too much blood, its decided they are admitting her until bleeding is under control .
She did great to get her IV in not too much screaming but hates it when anyone touches her face so u know I have to be holding her down while everyone is poking and prodding around in her ear.
They will decide tomorrow if they need to do a cat scan on her.
Meanwhile baby  brother is home with a fever .....
Keep you all updated
Chris
