Lincoln is doing a lot better. I'm hoping they'll let us go home today. Link had a better night ish. It's so sad when babies are sick! I wish I could just take the sickness or if him. I held Lincoln all night, but at least he seemed like he could breath. Plus I asked them to check for an ear infection and he has one. Thats what was causing the super high fever. If only the crazy ER doctor had figured that out. We probably wouldn't have been stuck in this expensive hospital all day and night!
Oh and poor Lincoln pulled out his IV. I looked down to see blood all over his little hand. At first I didn't realize what happened and freaked out a bit. Even after I realized what happened I still was surprisingly freaked just by seeing all that blood come out of my tiny baby. Another lame thing to add to the hospital experience.
I really am starting to feel like I'm in prison. I'm trapped in a room. They won't let you leave. They feed you at certain times. The only difference is that we have to pay them. Hmmm....
I just feel frustrated bc there is nothing that they can do for him. No medicine, no treatments. So why are we stuck in the hospital? We're paying thousands of dollars just to be observed. That just seems wrong. Any time I say anything like this to nick he looks at me like I'm crazy. He and I have very different views on hospitals and the opinions of doctors.
I feel like hospitals are good to have and very useful, but they are also a business and will do things that ensures that they're business makes money. I feel like having us stay in the hospital was a case of them ensuring that they make they're money. I don't think nick believes in those alternative motives.
Well they did let us go home thank goodness. It feels very nice to be back home. I hadn't left that hospital in 40 hours. Ýuck. Most of all in grateful to Heavenly Father that Lincoln is so much better :).
