WOW! a LOT has happened since i last updated!
well- the thursday mornign after that last update i went back to the doctor because i had never felt so terrible in my entire life. she looked at my even MORE swollen head (ill put some pictures for yall) and said that it needed to be lanced, but she didnt want to do it in the office cuz she didnt want to scar my face. SO we drove immediately downtown to the texas childrens emergency room. They took one look at me and got me in a room right away. they couldnt do the surgery on my face right away since i had eaten 3 cheese its on teh way to the hospital (hey- i was hungary...) so i had to wait until 9 that night (9 hours after i had gotten to tx. childrens). they put me to sleep and drained my face and cleadned it out (sick huh?!). i had to stay two nights in th hospital since the infection was so severe and dangerous. it was a nice hospital and the food wasnt too bad. the whole ordeal was pretty scary though. the Dr. said that my infection went all the way down to my skull..so thats why they kept me two nights pumping antibiotics through my IV .they were also woried since i had been SOOO swollen and since it was right by my eye. he told me that the blood vessels behind where my infection was went stright back to my brain and then down to my heart! bad spot i guess! well they didnt stitch the surgery spot open, but rather jus tleft it open so that if there was any more infection it wouldnt get sewn in ya know. so i had a hole in my head for about a week, but now it has closed completely and the scar is small so thats good! so i took a TON of medicine, and i just finished that, but now im fixin to start a new medicine that makes your sweat and tears orange! kinda like a living gatorade comercial. lol
so ya this summer has so far been filled with sicknesses, doctor appointments, and ER visits... but the rest of it has been fun!
