Ah, Saturday Night ER
I think eight hours in the ER on a Saturday night is quite possibly more effective than a good old Baptist revival. Nothing like a little taste of hell to make a sinner repent! I won't regale you with tales from the ER, because I do not want to relive that horror again. I will tell you that I was honestly praying, dear Jesus, let them call our name next, please, oh please oh please oh please-- for literally, HOURS.
But, I'm glad we went, though it galls me to say it. We had been unable to get Czarina's fever down, and she was starting to get dizzy and extremely lethargic. I was worried that she was dehydrated, and I was right. So, IV fluids, some tests, a round of antibiotics, and we eventually got home some time after 4 a.m. I woke up at noon. I am happy to discover there is no permanent damage done to my mental state.
Czarina is much better today, as is HeroBoy. So far, they're the only ones who've come down with it, so here's hoping it'll stay that way!
Okay, I'm off to enjoy the day of rest. Later, gators.

Well, if it makes you feel better...we had to take Harrison to the ER on Saturday afternoon. He broke both bones in his left arm! And about three hours ago we had to take him back because his hand turned blue, cold and numb! I feel like the ER staff is my family now! I think I will make them a fruitcake at Christmas!!
