[Edgerle Family] a bad day for Beth

[Michael Edgerle]

Bethany's nasal passages were a little congested and had trouble breathing when eating, so we decided to take her in to get checked up on. Due to running a fever, the Dr. decided to admit her into the hospital to run some tests (including a spinal tap to check for meningitis). They also ran an xray to check on her lungs and at Tiff's request also checked on her shoulder. They gave her some antibiotics via IV (first into the head, then the next day into the arm) which was pretty traumatic (they had trouble finding a vein to put the IV into). Everything turned out ok, with the final result a urinary tract/bladder infection, and we found out she broke her collar bone during delivery, confirmed via that xray Tiff requested). The antibiotics cleared everything up and other than wearing a soft brace for a couple of weeks, she's doing great.
