Maddy is in the ER! The story begins on Thursday evening when she got in a finder bender, I'm sure most of you saw that on Facebook. She cracked her right eye on the steering wheel. She seemed fine, other than a black eye, and wanted to go camping with her friends so she postponed getting checked out by a doctor. She was feeling fine through the weekend but yesterday started getting a little confused. I thought it was mostly from a lack of sleep, that happens sometimes from all the meds she is on. But this morning she had a bit of a traumatic episode of not knowing what day is is and thinking people were at the house who were not. She called me at work around 11 and we got her to the ER.
They did a cat scan and blood work as usual. Dr. Haddad came by soon after and said her kidney functions are out of whack and she is dehydrated. He looked at her scan and said there is nothing obviously messed up about it but reminded us he isn't a radiologist so we will wait for an official report. In the mean time Dr. Haddad is admitting her to get her rehydrated and watch her kidney functions. He's pretty sure she just has a slight concussion that will sort itself out. He said we should be out in 48 hours or so.
Maddy also has a sore throat and has been a little sniffuly for a few days so they will be sure to get that cleared up while she is here. I'll update more as we know what's happening. As of 3PM we are still waiting in the ER for a room on the regular floor.
