It has been a rough week at the Lambert house. We were with some family over the weekend and we picked up a flu bug. Everyone we were with started getting sick. On Tuesday, Maddy started to vomit. We took her to the clinic and she was admitted to the hospital- she was dehydrated, needed platelets, and overall, just did not feel well. On Wednesday, Julia was sick. Maddy got to come home, so we quarantined Julia to a room upstairs. Then, on Thursday, mom got sick. Maddy also started vomiting again. We called the doctor and found out that Maddy has C. Diff.(they had done a culture while she was in the hospital and it had come back positive). This is due to the high doses of antibiotics that she has been on for her central line infection. Now she is on yet another antibiotic for the C. Diff. Fortunately, she has been able to keep the pills down or she would have had to go back to the hospital. We are ready for the weekend!
On a more positive note, the ABC 4 Maddy Relay for Life team is in full swing. The team has recently designed the new "team t-shirt" for this year. They are AWESOME! Below, you can see the shirts on the Lady Streaks. The girl's basketball team is wearing the shirts during their tournament run.
Also, the annual St. Baldrick's event held at Terry Henricks in Archbold is quickly approaching. All the money raised through this event is donated specifically to finding a cure for childhood cancer. You can see all the details at:
Wow, I'm so sorry that everyone has been so sick, especially Maddy. I really hope that Maddy and everyone else is a lot better very soon.
ReplyDeleteHugs to you all,
Bridget
I hope you will be able to make it to the event this year! I sent you an invite, but my emails tend to go to people's spam.
