Another ER Trip & Hospital Stay - Part 2

... continued from part 1 ... The messages were from a few different nurses and doctors, but they all said the same thing. They informed me that it was urgent to bring Violet back to the hospital because the blood that they took when she was in the ER came back positive for bacteria. This was so urgent, in fact, that the last message left for us a few minutes before I checked my phone said if they did not hear back from us very soon they were going to send someone out to our home. I immediately told Josh to hurry and get dressed and that we needed to get Violet to the hospital right away. We were out of the house in minutes. My mind raced and I couldn't help but panic. I called family members on the way asking for prayers. When we got to the ER, they were obviously expecting us and got us into a room right away. I told the nurse that Violet needed numbing cream for her port since we left in such a rush and she came back quickly to apply it. But then, the staff started to lag.
