I got sick again in this July. I didn't want to play but laid around too much, my cough came back, I was feeling faint in the heat and finally I lost my voice. My mommy and doctor agreed to put me back in the hospital again. Me and my family spent the 4th of July in CHKD and watched the fireworks out of my hospital room window along with lots of other children. I thought the fireworks were great and didn't want them to end. I had to get another mid line for this hospital stay. They didn't medicate me as well this time as they did the first time, so it was very painful to me. I cried the entire 30 minutes it takes to insert the tube. I was really glad to see my mommy again after that. I didn't want her to leave my sight for the rest of my visit. They sent us home after about five days with the IV. We are starting to get used to how this works but it is always hard at first. After my 14 days of IV antibiotics I was really feeling better. My doctor and my mommy knew exactly what I needed to feel better.
