Mckenna's hospital stay

Mckenna was admitted to the hospital for four days last week. She was in a lot of pain, and after two separate visits to urgent care, where they just mis-diagnosed her with the flu, (and when her fever reached 105), we knew something was really wrong and took her to the ER instead. Karisa called me from work, and I met her at the hospital where Mckenna was treated for a kidney infection. She stayed in the hospital for four days and didn't like it one bit!! She has grade three kidney reflux on her right side, and grade two on her left. It is treatable, but requires a lot of antibiotics and a possible surgery in the near future. We'll see... after all she's been through within the last year, this is nothing she can't overcome as well.

She loved to take a ride in her hospital car. Since the hospital was short on beds, they had Mckenna stay on the oncology floor, where there were lots of toys to play with when she started feeling better!

Soo tired!
Soo sad! Poor little girl hated the hospital. She would scream and almost have a panic attack anytime someone besides mom or dad came into the room. She also said dada for the first time several times at the hospital, usually when they were doing a procedure. It was like she knew who her protector was and was calling out for dada to save her. So sweet and so sad.
