Scare Of My Life

We are home from the hospital now. Molly was released on Saturday (19th). At that time she was still having a little bleeding from her nose due to her sinus surgery.
Well let me tell you, Sunday evening her nose started bleeding like you wouldn't believe, it was happening so fast it was draining down her throat, she threw up blood a couple of times! Seriously I have never been so scared in my life. I have never been in such a panic before, I wanted to just stop and scream but knew I couldn't. Steve carried Molly to the vehicle and we rushed her to our local hospital. There the bleeding finally got better and she was given two units of blood. To see your child so scared and to hear her crying "I don't want to die" was just horrible and something I will never forget. I just hope it's something we never have to experience again.
We got home Monday morning from the E.R. a little after 4am. Monday afternoon we took her to back to Birmingham so she could be checked out by a ENT Doc. They put a little more packing in and suctioned her nose out (which was all very painful for Molly).
Yesterday she had traces of blood still oozing but I can proudly say now I think the bleeding has stopped and hopefully for good. She is still sleeping right now but all looks clear. Praise the Lord!

Summer

Well, many people are off enjoying their summer break on vacations but I'm at the hospital with Molly right now. She came in yesterday, this was a scheduled stay so we were half way mentally prepared, still doesn't help the boredom at all though. Of all things this time we ended up in a tiny room, I mean really...it's super small. This isn't a good thing because we invested in an electric cooler to bring with us, my in laws bought us a small microwave not to mention all the other things Molly and I brought with us. We are on the list to move to a larger room, I just wish they'd hurry up!
Molly will be having sinus surgery next Wednesday. We are keeping our fingers crossed that there are no problems with that and that we'll be able to get out of here on the 19th.
We are still in the process of discussing our vacation, not sure where we're going but we're sure looking forward to that time.
