Last Tuesday Justin got a spider bite on his thumb.(which they guess was a black widow) It started to itch and swell so by Friday he went to the doctor's office. They gave him a shot, some antibiotics and pain pills then sent him on his way. At 3:00 a.m. Sat. morning he woke me up in a lot of pain and said take me to the emergency room. So we were off. In the emergency room they decided to start an IV of the really strong antibiotics and cut into it to see if anything would come out. But nothing did. So we got home around 6 a.m. They wanted him to come back in around 4 p.m. for another round. But when we got in there it looked worse so they admitted him. Justin and I were both looking at each other like what? really?
So Justin ended up in the hospital for 3 days and it was a good thing because it wouldn't get better. On Monday they let him go home and just in time he was ready to break out of there. Between his blood being drawn every 4 hours the
meds making him sick and the bad food he was ready to leave.
Now for the next 10 days we have to go back everyday for the IV antibiotics. Which isn't so bad its the being in the house stuck at home that is driving him crazy. He can't go back to work until next week. Well maybe next week. Justin parents came down and sprayed our whole house for spiders. Thanks Mom and Dad.
#1 day of IV only 9 to go:(
