Yesterday was one of those days you just don’t want to experience but which come anyways.
First – I was sleep deprived. Nothing new there – since the arrival of the qauds our schedule has been nutty.
Second – I was tech deprived. The conference room I so carefully reviewed and chose for the Hot Seminar Series was proving to be woefully inadequate.
Third – Piper was admitted to the hospital. After two days of high fever she went to the doctor who sent her to the ER for fluids and test showed that she had a severe UTI infection so she was checked in and put on IV antibiotics.
We went through something similar with Max a few months back. Having one of the babies in the hospital creates a whole new dynamic when it comes to covering 24 hours of each day with enough hands to take care of everyone.
Long story short: I postponed last night’s Hot Seminar Series with Lynn Terry and dropped everything off of my schedule for the rest of yesterday and today so that I could put in extra time on Quad Watch.
Piper’s doing better today. Her fever is still going up when tylenol wears off but she isn’t throwing up anymore and has started to take some formula again. That’s good news :)
I really don’t like having to cancel things, but I know that you understand that everything else pales in comparison to the needs of family. I’ll be working with Lynn to get her topic rescheduled as soon as possible and will post news on that.
I’ll leave you with a little dose of the preciousness of Piper (and grandpa)

So glad to hear that Piper is feeling better. It’s always scary when the little ones have those little “bumps” in the road.
