My 15 month old is being hospitalized

Recommended Posts

Consider it done! Give Lori and the kids a kiss for me. Let them know they're getting a rosary said for them, especially your baby.

She'll be alright. Just hang in there. Those little buggers can scare the shit out of us, but they're stronger than we think.

ok everyone, i'm at the library taking a break. cecilia's still roasting from a 104.5 fever over in the hospital. it'll go down then shoot way up. just weird. no seizure activity, which is good, given the rapid fluctuations. blood work, chest x-rays, etc. not back yet. mom is resting w/ her. urinalysis not back yet either. going back in a few minutes to give mom a break for a while.

thank you all so much, muenkel, lauralicious, rl, michele, lisamaria, krisanne, stitch, pincheck,clay, kathleen,linder, walt, fuck, all you other fuckers who I love so much.

more updates later...

I miss Lee.

I hope this turns out to be just as simple. When my son was little.......like 6 months old. I was at the damn hospital so many times it was rediculous. He would lay there screaming bloody murder with a 100+ temp. Seemed like I was in there at least once a week. The docs would check him over and every time all they could find was an upset stomach and noisy bowels. He eventually outgrew it but not before being responsible for at least SOME of the gray hairs I have today. :S Hope it's nothing!

Mike... a slap on the back, a handshake and a smile for you and your family.

Jeez, I hope everything straightens out for the little one.
My reality and yours are quite different.

ok, back at the library. thx again for the well wishes. feel kinda bad stealin gfd's thunder but i don't think she minds, in fact she probably welcomes the distraction :D

blood tests showed sky high white blood cell count, no surprise. chest xray inconclusive. still running urinalysis and stool culture for parasites and such (oh what fun... where's walt when you need him?)... also waiting on blood cultures, could take 24-72 hours to see what may be lurking in the blood, bacterimia, etc. Cecilia could be in the hosp. up to 3 days or more. Right now they're all a little stymied. Doc was leaning towards doing a lumbar puncture, thinking this was looking more like encephalitis or meningitis, but Cecilia isn't sluggish and lethargic all the time. Her fever will wax and wane and she'll get a LITTLE active again, still not to her old self, but enough to lead the doc to believe it's NOT one of those, so they're doing a couple of other blood tests that, if they come back high, it will be further possible evidence of either encephalitis or meningitis. Then, they'll do a lumbar puncture (spinal tap). I dread them doing that. Also, the health department came out to test our well... since we're in the country, our rental property is on a well that was inactive for about 6 months before we moved in, maybe there's something unhealthy lurking... who knows.

When I got back from my last posts here, Ceciliia was running 104.5 fever. I just left the hospital and she's down to 96. It's just so fucking odd. Never seen anything like it. So, they're testing everything and anything, hoping something shows up.

More later... and thanks again for your support.

(by the way, we're in good spirits, just so you know... Cecilia is doing ok too... she actually smiled before I left, probably the first one today :)

again, thx to y'all, my cyber sky fam, some of whom I've had the great pleasure to hug in person. Michele was the first. What a first dz.com hug. Holy shit, my back still reminds me... :D

anyway, here's the latest... they found traces of blood and various nastiness in her urine, so at a minimum she's got a yucky urinary tract infection that they are now attacking w/ antibiotics. however, they don't think it's the whole picture though so now they are still testing stool samples, etc. when i left the hosp. for the evening to care for the other kiddies, dilla (cecilia's nickname, since our 3 year old couldn't say cecilia when she was younger) was still doing ok, but anytime a nurse would come in, oh how she'd scowl at them and start to mumble under her breath. she knew them bitches were evil!

still, if this is more than just a nasty UTI, she could be in for 2-3 days, depending on blood culture results. however, right now she's hydrating on her own, which is good, oxygen saturation is relatively good, and besides the crazy temp fluctuations, things are holding steady.

more later...
