Happy Monday everyone! Tiara is still here at Choc but she seems to be feeling better. We realized she was allergic to the antibiotic that was treating her 3 infections because her mouth broke out in cold sores. I knew it might happen and was on the look out for any allergic signs because it is in the same subclass as Augmentin to which she is allergic. Because they are trying to treat the pneumonia and 2 different bacteria in the urinary tract with one drug they don’t have tons of choices. She has been on so many IV antibiotics this year they are really trying to be careful and limit them as much as possible.
Either way by Sunday night she was acting more herself and did something she has never done before. She said Tabitha’s complete name! In 14 years she has never called Tabitha, Tabitha, only Habi. I was so excited when she did it we made a video but I am not quite sure how to post it from my ipad and too tired to figure it out, sorry.
Today she is having the swallow study and hopefully we will get to go home by Tuesday. I would say Today but I doubt it will happen since no one has even mentioned our return home. I went home on Friday to spend time with the girls for the night and when I walked into her hospital room on Saturday morning I found Louie in the middle of a diaper change while Tiara laughed at him. She thinks it is so funny when we struggle to roll her back and forth, she just laughs as we change her diaper.
Once he finished she looked at me and said “ Mom, you’re home!” She pulled me into a big bear hug and kept saying , “ohhhh, mom, mom, home, home”. You think I had been gone a week, not 15 hours, she was so excited to see me. I was so happy to see her and all I could think about was that saying “home is where the heart is.” My heart is always with my children and Lou,and Tiara knows I will make a home for us wherever we sleep, be it at the hospital, a hotel or our house. As long as we are together, we are home.
Have a great day!

Tiffani so true about home is where the heart is. So happy to hear she is doing better and even said Tabitha’s name for the very first time. Awesome!! by the way, my younger daughter was given augmentin for a persistent ear infection and she too had an allergic reaction. So, I always make sure she doesn’t get that again if and when she needs an antibiotic prescribed. So, yes I can relate to that one. Hope Tiara is home again real soon 🙂
I’m so glad she’s doing better. Hopefully you’ll all be together at home tomorrow. Praying that Tiara will have a healthy summer.
Tiffani you are the heart and core of your family. Warms my heart!
Glad Tt is improving. I agree with Sylvia, Here is to a happy and healthy summer! Big Hug.
So true, home definitely is where the heart is. So pleased Tiara is on the mend again.
