Right there with you Mike.

We get a call from son that his wife has abdominal pain and is running a temp of 103😮. We go get the granddaughter and send them packing to the ER. Tuns out she has an abscess on her kidney? We end up keeping the six-month old all night…with no mothers milk (she didn’t have time to pump) and went with some kind of formula….the baby wasn’t happy!

Long story short, they were released at 1 am, so we kept my granddaughter and all three of us trying to sooth her through the night. She finally fell asleep but it was a rough weekend for sure. Wife spent the whole night with them last night.

Sorry your weekend was spoiled also. Hope the wife is doing better.
I hope your DIL is better! Poor baby! Both of them! 😢
 
I do all the grocery shopping and cooking, cleaning the kitchen and dining rooms (sort of my domain), make sure my kids all get their medications am and pm, take the kids to all dentist and most doctor appointments, take my boy to all his soccer practices and games (my wife takes our youngest to all the figure skating stuff, except when she needs me to do it, but she hasn’t subbed for soccer yet)… I do a lot of it. When we had kids in diapers, I did most of the diaper changing and putting to bed too. Yes, it is exhausting.
You are a good man 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Thank you Lilianna! My wife went over on Sunday night and took care of the baby so the DIL could get some rest. She was still in a lot of pain but that finally subsided yesterday. We thought she may go over last night but she was feeling better and was able to nurse, so everything seems to be getting back on track.

Thanks again for the well wishes!
 
Abscesses suck... and a baby wanting her mama...so sad
Yes, she was in so much pain and the high fever scared us. Everything is getting back on track now.

The granddaughter is a mama’s girl for sure! There was just nothing we could do to soothe her that night.
 
He was quite good at doing it to us for some time. Looks like the wife might get into the same soon. Happy days again.

I'm so glad, Horatio! It's as hard for mommy as it is for baby when nursing can't happen. Is your DIL home or still in the hospital? Hugs all around! 🫂🫂🫂
