Chele, how is Kody doing?



Chrismiss...Chant away

About the same. Constant headache. We are now waiting to hear from the neurologist again.

 

[cherbear]

Heck Yeah

THanks


After you blow them up, send this way

I will eat them

Okiedokie!

Had to come in to explain, since Sharky was texting me to ask me questions. I thought you guys would wanna know.

My spinal tap fluid levels were at 3. My shunt has them regulated at 180, or 18. So 3 is way low. I'm thinking they either have to turn the shunt off or take it out. Hopefully they can just turn it off. I don't want surgery.

I still have to lay flat, so I'm kind of napping off and on. I'll check in with y'all later.

And HEY, my future husband does NOT look like Howie Mandel!!

ahh...and I just texted you a few minutes ago to find out. I am PRAYING that you don't need surgery!!

hey, while you girls are praying for Nikki, can y'all offer up a prayer for my mom as well? She has been feeling pretty bad lately. Fever/chills, all over body pain, and lymph nodes swollen. She's had some stomach pain as well. She also has had a spot on her arm which needed to be lanced. It looked like a staph infection or something and it grew. Then she ended up with another one. Dr thinks it all might be related.

She had an ultrasound last week of her entire abdomen and was supposed to go in this Fri for the results. I had a feeling she wouldn't make it to Fri when I saw her on Easter and she was in pain. She was hurting when my dad came home at 4:30 today...she'd been hurting for a while, even the vicodin wasn't helping. So my dad took her to the ER and she's been there ever since. They couldn't get her u/s results (I don't know why! and it angers me) so they ran bloodwork and just did a catscan. I've been keeping in touch with my dad and sister and I told him to call me no matter what time it is when he finds out the results of the catscan. If they admit her I will go see her tomorrow. I'm very worried.

 

[Trentmom]

Aww....

I will keep her in my prayers too


Please keep us posted

I had to come back to see what you had to say about your momma. This sounds a lot like what my dad (well, stepdad, really) went through when they told him he had cat scratch fever. It turns out that wasn't really what he had. I'll have to see if I can find out what it really was and let you know. They ended up taking out his lymph glands and everything and it turned out he didn't need them removed. Now he gets some kind of illness every couple of years that could have been prevented had he still had his lymph glands.

Why the heck couldn't they get the ultrasound results? I hate it when hospitals are *ahem* less than efficient. I mean, it is an ultrasound, what the hell is the problem?

Don't be worried, it will be okay. We're here for you.

What a shame for your stepdad. They did just get a new kitty not long ago. I wonder if that's what she could have. Or maybe whatever he had...I appreciate you telling me that. When you find out let me know. I'll pass it on.

Consider it done.

thank you!

I knew I could count on you girls. I just heard from my dad. They are admitting her to keep an eye on her overnight and tomorrow morning probably doing an X-ray on her back. The catscan showed nothing. I asked Dad if they were going to try to get the ultrasound results and he said he didn't know. She still hadn't been taken to a room yet, so he said he'd let me know if he found out anything more detailed on their plans for her once she gets officially admitted.

 

[kaoden39]

Cheri, I think that the hospital is the best place for her because she will be taken care of. I will keep praying for her and keping you all in my thoughts.

Thanks Michele. I just looked up cat scratch fever (seeing as how they recently got a kitten) and saw that many of the symptoms matched what my Mom has been experiencing. Also it said that it's predominent in kittens (as opposed to adult cats). So I figured I would call them and give them a head's up. Mom was awake and dad put me on speakerphone so she could hear. I read the description/symptoms of cat scratch fever and they were amazed. I told them it wouldn't be a bad idea to tell her doc that they recently got a new kitten. I hope they don't misdiagnose her like they did Nikki's dad but hey it's worth a shot if that's what she's got and they can make her better faster! And not run up a ton of bills testing!

I hope I didn't do the wrong thing by telling them that...

No, I don't think so. I think that the DR's have a heads up then and it may help them.

More prayers for you!

Also she doesn't have the built in babysitters either so that makes things a little harder....

Yeah, I was thinking about this the other day...years and yonder ago families were really all together -- you know, aunts, grandmas, cousins either living very close or next door to each other (on the prairie!) or even in the same house. So it must have been easier to take care of the kiddos ... esp the babies..

I'm glad my family is only 3 hrs away but it sure would be nice right now to have my family just next door!

hey, while you girls are praying for Nikki, can y'all offer up a prayer for my mom as well?

Done. Let us know if the docs think it is cat-scratch fever...

 

[Marshay]

oooh, I just noticed that I am coming up close to 7,000 posts...not going to do it tonight, but maybe I'll plan to hit it tomorrow.

Did anyone else post Easter photos?? I remember seeing one with the bunny but I want to see more. I'll hopefully have ours available tomorrow or next day.

It was Betsy. How are you? Did you see my post about the books?

 

[Marshay]

Yes, thanks for the post about the books. I will add them to my ever-growing list of authors...just wish there was more time to read!

 

[Marshay]

OK, before I go to bed...here's a sneak peak at "our little egg":

Yeah I can imagine you don't have much time for anything right now. I remember those days. There is a website that might interest you called goodreads.com where people review books.

thank you!

Glad they keeping her to observe. That is the best thing.

I think it was fine you told them about Cat Scratch fever.

Let us know when you hear more
