Caleb in Hospital
Friday, July 18, 2008
Yesterday afternoon, Calebs temperature was still high at over 38 degrees and he'd been sick so Maxine took him to see the doctor. At 15:50 Max sent me a text to say come home ASAP as Caleb had to go to Hospital. Needless to say I dropped everything and rushed home. Max took him in while I waited for Marnie's Dad to collect her.
Overnight Caleb had Paracetamol and Ibuprofen and a drip in his arm which was administering antibiotics. This morning his eye as still very red, as you can see in the photo, so they've changed to a stronger antibiotic.
Maxine took the photo on her phone and sent it to me via photomessaging. I've left the image large as the quality is not too good.
There was talk about him coming home today and continue with taking the antibiotics orally, but the latest from Maxine is that he might have to stay in over the weekend until he shows signs of recovery.
Poor Caleb, I really feel for him - poor little thing. You can tell he's not himself because even when he's ill he's still very vocal - grumbling all the time...but he's as quite as a mouse and sleeping lots.
