Amy is NOT in the Hospital - The Aftermath.

Well, Amy has been home for two days now and we are getting used to the medication routine. They gave her two weeks of IV style medication that she has to administer to herself twice a day. The IV medication comes in little jars with rubber bladders in them. The bladders are pressurized with air and medication and she insterts the medication into her line and then the jar power feeds the medication to her body. There are two types of medications (both antibiotics) that take about two hours (they have preset flow rates) to administer. She tucks those jars into a fanny pack, runs the line through her shirt, and the kids don't even know she is getting medicine. It makes things almost normal.

This morning we went to Target to get Max clothes for picture day tommorow and then went to lunch at Super Salad!. It made Amy tired, but not exhausted and after a nap she seems to be doing fine. She is caughing a lot less and sounds better to me than she has in the last six weeks.

What they figure happened was this. She had a form of bronchitus for about four weeks before she got the virus that I had last week. After she puked her guts up the bornchitus spread and with her being sick and exhausted she simply developed pneumonia. We caught it at its very early stages and thus it hasn't been too tough of a recovery. Yes, three weeks of antibiotics and a week in the hospital is MILD pneumonia. It is not to be messed with.

I want also to name names if I can. I want to thank many people for all the help in person. My BFF Jason for doing what men don't do, Matt and Laura for bailing us out and letting me get to work, Susan for covering us with Lambert's ARD, Krissy and Carol for covering us yesterday when Lambert went to a birthday party (see above), and many others for offering to help, checking up on us, and visiting Amy in the hospital.
