The doctor called last night and asked if Cash had a temperature…. He had a 100.5 temp so she told me to hurry and bring Cash back to the ER…I was like what in the world is going on!? Dr. King said that Cash tested positive for Strep B. I had no idea what that was all I knew is they gave me medicine for it before Cash was delivered… because I tested positive for it and if babies get it they get really sick and even die. So of course I FREAKED! I got Cash to the ER and they hooked him up to another IV (I hate that) and gave him medicine to wipe out the bacteria in his body causing Strep B. They did more blood work. While we were waiting for the result the doctor explained how lucky it was that she swabbed Cash’s throat the first time we were there, because normally they don’t because babies don’t develop Strep B after birth. She explained how she didn’t know how Cash ended up with these bacteria, but it was a good thing she caught it because the bacteria was only in his throat. If the bacteria would have spread and got into his blood Cash would have gotten very sick and most likely would pass away. My heart dropped! I have never been more grateful that Cash got his weird virus because if he wouldn’t have gotten that virus I would have never even known he was sick until it was too late! What another amazing miracle! I can’t thank my Heavenly Father enough. Cash must be a pretty special boy! I am so out of my mind grateful!
Oh if anyone is wondering how Belle is doing she is getting kicked out of the nursery! Hahaha not really but I do have to go in the nursery every Sunday to make sure she doesn’t hurt all the other kids. I got a phone call yesterday and basically Belle scratched a little girl so bad in the eye and made her bleed… So I called the little girls mom and apologized for Belle and now I need to stay in nursery with her for a couple of weeks! Hahah oh Life!!!!!! I decided it is a crazy thing! I am just happy I am getting through it!!

Hey Maime,
This is Jenn's friend Susan here. I discovered your cute little blog and now I have been reading it. I had to comment to say "phew" on Cash. I hope he gets better. But I also wanted to say there have been several of my children I had to go to the nursery with and parents I had to apologize to also so don't get too discouraged. She looks like a cutie and will for sure out grow it.
Love, Susan
Oh my goodness Maime! I just finished reading your last three posts... I crying! That sounds like a terrible experience. You are seriously the most positive person I know and not to mention so STRONG!! Wow... you're amazing. Glad little Cash it ok now... little sweetheart.
I'm so glad that the doctor took the percautions she did and caught it so soon. I hope and pray that everything will start to get better from now on. I love you family picture by the way it's absolutely adorable and monkey's tan line is so awesome :0)
