Grand daughter Chloe goes to the emergency room...


In what seemed like a routine visit to the doctor for what appeared to be pink eye....my grand daughter Chloe, (2 weeks old), ended  up being admitted to Vanderbilt Children's hospital in Nashville.
The talk of meningitis and having a spinal tap brought me to believe that she is a sick little baby!
We were due to leave my home in Tennessee, (the half-way point from Florida to Ohio - where they're relocating and moving to), early the next morning....which would be today! 
Yesterday - those plans changed when Michelle took Chloe to the clinic down the road, who in turn told her to go to Franklin, Kentucky emergency room - and who they in turn told her to take her to the Vanderbilt Children's Hospital emergency room in Nashville - because they would be better suited and able to treat a newborn baby.  It was an all-day event!
Now, the next morning - we still do not have the answers that tell us what is wrong with Chloe.  Waiting is something soo hard to do.
Meanwhile, my son-in-law Jay changed his route.  He was driving straight north with their belongings from Florida to Ohio and stopped at my son Matt's house in South Carolina to spend the night.  But in light of Chloe being admitted to the hospital - he introduced his dad to his wife's family and then drove to Nashville to be with his baby and wife.  He drove approx. 20 hours yesterday,  having a two hour delay due to a rock slide, but arrived in Nashville around 6am.  Whew!  LONG DAY!
Meanwhile, we wait.......and wait.....and do a lot of praying!
