Who am I, Where am I Going, and Where have I been? The story of my life! |
We had J in the ER at 5 am this morning. He woke up at 3am running a temp of 104.2 under the arm and throwing up and wheezing. By 4:30 he had thrown up the motrin, we'd try a tylenol suppository....wet cloths, etc..his temp went up to 105 and we went to the ER...he started hallucinating (which was kind of funny and very scary) the long and short of it is he has another sinus infection but htis one hit us out of the blue...he just finished an antibiotic at the end of Feb...for a sinus infection-so anyway...we have ped's appt and allergist/asthma dr appt on Friday unless he doenst' get better or gets worse-he's finally (knock on wood) stopped puking, his temp is under control and while he's not his bouncy self, he's stable anyway. It's been a very long day and I'm hoping he will sleep well and feel better tomorrow-say some prayers for all of us please. We finally got home from the ER about 10:30am, they did a flu screen, a chest xray, bloodwork, and an IV...finally got the temp under control-we think he may have a virus on top of the sinus infection- His allergy doc is allergy/athsma/immunology and we have had a discussion in the past about further testing (allergy tests came back neg.) Not sure what all he wants to do or what he's thinking...I know we've discussed some type of immuno defficiency but I'm not sure what else we are thinking...so prayers that way would be good. Tomorrow, if I can think straight, I will share the message I got yesterday and such...My brain is friend from sick baby and lack of sleep. I've had about a 2 hr nap, give or take the interruptions...I got about 2 1/2 hrs of sleep overnight..I don't do well wiht no sleep... Pray for me, please and for my little one...I'm real good at letting God handle most things...and letting them go...my kids being sick is not one of them I'm so good at. Today I"m thankful for medical science and the gifts God has given us in that regard. hugs Vicky |
