Last one to post........... Part 27

[Good Ol Gal]

ok, here's an update on Grif.

took him to the dr yesterday for a follow-up visit.

his pulse-ox (level of oxygen in your blood) is high 80's. You of course want it to be 100, but at least low 90's. Temp still 101, even with taking motrin about 3 hours previous.

he sends us back to the children's hospital for more tests. Praise the Lord it's just he outpatient part. They do more chest xrays and blood tests. He said he wanted to check to see if there was fluid building up in his lungs and that is why he's not getting better.

It was so stressful again b/c his apt was at 1:20, the kids had early release at 2:30, and the school's phones were broken. I told him that I needed to get the kids and he said "well do that quickly and get the tests done ASAP and then come right back here". so I had to rush to the school to pick the kids up b/c they couldn't go home to an empty house, then rush over to do the tests....with two extra kids. (Travis chose to go with a friend instead of us).

after the tests we went back to his office and he checked it all out. everything looked the same as the day before so he still can't figure out why his fever is still so high. He's been over 100 for a week now. Anyway....he tells us to go home and start giving him breathing treatments eventhough he's not wheezing or anything. That if it helps 10th of a % it's better than nothing.

We're going back again this morning for another follow-up. Please continue to pray for this little guy, I am so nervous and scared.

Thanks for listening and I must go get us both ready to go to the dr.

Have a great day and many prayers for everyone!!

Ooops! I just posted asking how he was at the exact time you were posting your update!

I will continue to keep him in my prayers! I hope the news at the doctors will be a little better today!

Kim~ your abuelita will be in our prayers....

...thank you......

...thanks for the prayers everyone!

Griffin is still struggling but at least he's not crying that he wants to go home.

Since Griffin is so little there was no way that I was going to leave him alone in the hospital room, so I stayed with him the whole time. And since he was on the infectious diseses ward no other children were allowed to come up, so dh couldn't come to relieve me.

It was very stressful feeling. I had just come off an 8 1/2 hour night shift, then went to the drs. thinking I could come home and shower, etc. Not knowing that we'd be rushed off to the ER then the hospital. I hadn't eaten any breakfast, hadn't slept more than 4 hours in the past 36 hours.... I was tired, hungry and worried. And you know what I wanted to do..talk to a girlfriend. And who did I want to turn to?? My LTP sisters. I wish I had one of your phone numbers in my cell phone.

You know, I was thinking how a year ago the DIS/LTP was such a fun place to go, no worries here, just posting, posting, posting. . It made me feel kinda sad for a bit thinking of how it changed with all of the sadness lately.

Then I realized that it's not about the sadness, but that we've really become such wonderful friends that we feel comfortable enough with each other that we're sharing our true feelings, our fears, our real lives with each other. And that real lives had sadness along with happiness in them.

I am thankful for all of your friendships. I am thankful for all of you just being you.


ok, now back to your regularly scheduled program

LAST TO POST!! ​

hi everyone

just checking in before I crash into bed for the night.

since this has become the unofficial prayer thread, I am asking for your thoughts for my husband. I rushed him to the ER late Tuesday evening and he has been going through some serious tests. We are now awaiting the results from the spinal tap. I am over tired, and scared, but I knew my friends here on the LTP would let me talk my self through it.

sorry I missed everyone.

keep you posted, talk to you later.

OMG Pam

prayers for him

let us know

poor guy
and poor mommy

praying today looks better

have they said anything about alternating tylenol and Motirn
for the fever

a few years ago Erica missed 37 days of school
it started with a long fever and Pneumoina
they ended up testing for whooping cough and all
Never did figure it out but breathign treatments and steriod inhaler and a third antibiotic finally kicked it

but for the fever they had me alternating the two meds

hope he is doing much better soon

 

[kaylajr]

Kim
congrats on the new tags

 

[kaylajr]

okay all caught up
anyone still here??????????

 

[Mom2Ashli]

Kelli - congratulations on making your personal goal!

How far back did the dr push back the radiation an dchemo for you SIL??? And why???

I am thinking a week or two. She is not healed from the surgery yet. So I think that is the reason why.

They made my DW wait 4 weeks after surgery to start her chemo.
