the_rckWe’re home from the ER now. They gave Cordelia liquid valium for muscle spasms (which are back again and hurting her a lot) and some sort of painkiller as nasal spray. The discharge papers don’t mention them giving her any medications at all, so I have no idea what they gave her. She’s got a knee brace and crutches and will have to miss the overnight field trip next week. I’m keeping her home tomorrow (which means missing two tests), and there’s no school on Friday anyway.
I’m probably going to have to walk her back and forth to school on orchestra days (MWF). The viola case has backpack straps, but we’re not sure she can use them and the crutches. Also, one of her classes is in a basement room that’s only accessible by stairs. There’s an elevator between the first and second floor, but there’s nothing for getting to the basement. I think that’s because it wasn’t originally designed as instructional space, as a place students would need to go.
She will need PT. We’re going to try to follow up with her pediatrician tomorrow because Scott has the day scheduled off for an appointment at the sleep disorders clinic, and orthopedics is supposed to call us tomorrow or Friday to make an appointment for some time next week.
Scott worked to the end of his shift today, so he got to the hospital a little after 4:00 (I got the initial call about 12:30). There really wasn’t anything he could have done that I couldn’t do. They would have let him leave early if I had asked, but I thought it was better not to.
Thank you all for your good wishes. I probably won’t answer because I’m feeling overwhelmed. The good wishes help, but I can’t deal with answering right now and probably not for the next several days at least.
I had almost finished a post before I got the call. I’m not sure if I’ll delete it or try to edit it and post it later.
I’m a bit peeved with Gmail. They’re claiming that my cell phone, using their app, a currently up to date version of the damned thing, isn’t 'secure' enough to be allowed to log in. I can’t find any way to change the account settings to say that my phone really and truly should be allowed access to my Gmail. I only use email on my cell in emergencies. Finding out in the ER that I can’t do it is really not ideal. I was only trying to send a message to Cordelia’s principal and teachers (they’d asked for an update as soon as I knew anything).
Getting home was really awful. Every transfer— bed to wheelchair, wheelchair to car, etc.— was excruciating for Cordelia and took a lot of time. She’s never really experienced this sort of pain before. She’s had sore throats and minor headaches and skinned knees. This is on a whole different scale.
Cordelia has a loft bed. A few people suggested an air mattress on the floor, but I’m quite sure she’d never be able to get up from that, so we’re setting her up on the couch in the living room. Her sleeping in our bed might work. I’m not sure there’s enough room in there for her to use crutches, though, and the bed is high enough that I sometimes have trouble with it. And I don’t think that me or Scott sleeping in the living room would be better.
