See, this is why I love being here...the thoughts and prayers of you wonderful people have made this situation easier for all of us here to bear.
Little M has been diagnosed, as earlier reported, to have a staph infection (possible that it is still of the MRSA variety) deep in the muscles of her left thigh and buttock. Doctors will do bone scans tomorrow to see if the infection has impinged on bone. The good news is that it is all treatable with no long-term affects. However, she will have to be on IV antibiotics for at least a couple more weeks, and possibly as long as six. Prognosis is excellent that she will have full recovery, albeit slow. We will probably be able to bring her home by a week from Monday, (July 13), and then continue administering the IV antibiotics ourselves. Complicated by the move scheduled on July 16, but we will then fly her up rather than drive, so that her treatment is not disrupted by the move. Hospital in PA has already been notified and is on board, and I am told that Lancaster General Hospital is an extraordinary hospital. So barring unforeseen developments, life will go on as normally as normal can be in this situation. Fortunately, we have time off from work (AA doesn't start until last week of July), so we can devote most of our non-moving activities to M. AA's parents live in Lancaster County, so that will help as well, and will help us get acclimated to our new home quickly--M will stay at their house for a few days until we can make the house presentable and look like a home. This hs been emotionally trying, but it looks like the worst is over, and the rest is manageable.
I can't say how much I appreciate all your thoughts and prayers and wisdom. My focus, as you might expect, has been elsewhere, but of all things, when I find myself home alone during my times away from the hospital, your company here in the Bistro has been an incredible tonic. I read and reread the thread that has grown during my absences, and I get great comfort from watching you all evolve and converse.
Thank you all for being my other family. I love you all.

Some people like to use staple guns on themselves to prove how tough they are. Some people like to jump off roofs to prove how tough they are.

Some people are also stupid.

Personally, I know how tough I am. I do not need a slap to the balls to prove it. I prove it in other, likely as stupid, ways, but other ways nontheless.

Although I was gone during the initial crisis, I suspect the little candle I have lit for her will still do some good. It's rather a long haul recovering from staph, from what I understand, especially for a little one. I've got a white one going for her immune system and a red one going to give her extra strength, and a yellow one for keeping the family courageous and upbeat.

Doll, we're all thinking about you. And our best blessing as you add this little extra complexity to what was already an ordeal.

I wonder, though. It's funny how we get into these situations where we're emotionally wrecked, like thinking about uprooting yourself from Home and going someplace brand new, and then something happens to give you a brand new center.

Not that I believe in a divine who does horrible things to little kids, but it's rather beautiful that you're getting such a moment of clarity about where your true center is, where your absolute priorities are.

Overkill? yes. Like hitting you in the head with a hammer so you don't notice that I'm pulling a band-aid off. But still. As you think about Home, you have a clear message of what Truly Matters.

I'll also, with your permission, sing a little song about how smoothly, surprisingly smoothly, things are going to go from now on, all the way through til you're settled in at the New Home.

We do love our Chef. Truly.

I'm very happy to hear again that she continues to improve and is moving in the right direction. I've heard good things about Lancastor, and if push came to shove, you're also near Philadelphia Children's Hospital, which is one of the best in the country. Just take it easy and get through the move. When she's much older you can tell her how she got out of all the work.

Lancaster General is a very good hospital. I have no doubt that she will be fine.
Nice to know that we'll be "neighbors."

 

[unpredictablebijou]

My goodness, Hat-boy. A little woofie today?

Here, have some nice cold gazpacho and some good bread. And never mind what I just put into your drink. It'll calm you down.

You do, as an aside, have my sympathy. I know how hard it is to be separated right now.

Hershey Medical Center would be much closer to Lancaster and is also one of the best in the country (from what I hear). It is affiliated with Penn State. I was actually kinda surprised that they weren't refered there. But, Lancaster Hospital is probably the best city hospital in the area.

The whole area is really good. I think that eastern and central PA (and New Jersey, too) have excellent medical care in general. There are wonderful private hospitals, too, like the Deborah Heart and Lung Center in NJ. Not that I'd want to be sick but I'd feel pretty secure there in that regard. Maine, surprisingly, is wonderful too. The area where we live has a regional medical center that gives excellent care and has all sorts of clinical services for the uninsured. They take care of their own up here.

'Slapping it on' isn't the same as slapping but possibly doesn't mean the same over there ..... here it's like slapping on the grease paint (i.e actor's make-up)

BTW I have jumped off buildings (for charity) albeit attached to a rope and for that matter out of a balloon attached to a parachute .... does that make me stooooopid?

No. That makes you a Totally Beautiful Hero. For jollies, it might be stupid. For Charity, it makes you a gorgeous creature.

It's all in the motivation. And you know I'm not into judging anyone else's kink, whatever it may be, even if it were JUST for getting your jollies.

hi baby! Welcome! Lurk away; I have a deep suspicion you're not the only lurker around here by far.

Shall we set up a little slave area for y'all? Some cushions to kneel on and such?

Yeah, i'm familiar with the phrase myself, as is the Hat Boy. I suspect he's just feeling contrary today. Somebody needs to offer to be tied up and spanked or something.

Gazpacho is icky.

I am just feeling contrary, you were perfectly correct.

Nope, awesome, as bij said. Honestly, I have respect for folks what take slaps to the jibblies. It's just not my thing. I made pretty clear that I do other equally stupid thing to show my toughness. Ur.

Yet another reason to set up a Bistro Dungeon somewhere in the BDSM forum.

Lessee... I see it done up like a Moroccan harem - all rich, wine-colored tapestry and huge cushy pillows. And some other equipment...

Must skate now, sadly. Off to do Things with Stuff. Help yourself to anything, darling, and come by more often, yes?

Gazpacho is simply cold.

Now, borscht is truly icky.

Haven't been writing lately, but I've been doing other stuff. Some people here might be able to appreciate this. Y'all have seen the hemp chokers I made my gals, right? I wanted on something a bit more serious for formal wear in public, so I decided to work in silver. Anybody can buy a chain and make a necklace out of it. I decided to just get some sterling silver wire and weave necklaces out of it for them. Here's the result.

The second shot shows the bulk wire, and the necklace from a different angle. It's very flexible, and not terribly difficult. I like it anyway...
