Home from the Hospital - Mollescum

I just got home this afternoon with Amira. We were at the hospital since Tuesday (Kevin and I) taking turns on staying with her. I have new gained respect for the families that have to stay at hospitals for days and weeks keeping their families apart. Anyways, whoever has been following my blog knows how annoyed I was by Amira mollescum and that this Dr. wouldn't help her. In fact the dr. at the hospital said that she didn't know what she was doing and that it was her fault it got so infected. They said that Dr. should have never poked it.

On Tuesday we had a regular appointment with the eye dr to check it. They wanted to sent her home and come back in 2 weeks for surgery (hellllo?) but her normal pediatrician said "heck no" and made an executive decision to keep her at the hospital. They were worried she had some nasty stuff growing in there which today I found out she did. But the antibiotics should take care of the stuff growing in there. There was a huge sign on the door to only come in the cloves and gowns but I believe there were other reasons for that, but whatever. They also wanted to rule out she didn't have MRSA. I was hoping they would cut the whole mollescum away and they told Kevin they did but later on when she came out of surgery they basically told us that they didn't cut it but sucked out everything. They are extremely confident that is will not return. Its still kinda swollen but it looks but so today I really am relying on the fact that they told me the truth and it will not return.

Amira and Biruk missed each other like crazy and called each other all day on the telephone. Biruk was very brave and didn't cry when he had to sleep alone in his room.

It actually looked worse when she went in. Her eye was completely shut.

After the surgery

Being reunited with Biruk. She shared one of her balloons with him. I will post more pics of Amira later. Her eye really looks much nicer than on the picture.
