 Topic: My big baby is very sick
Posted: 03 September 2007 at 12:24pm |
Andrew is in hospital as a patient in the children's ward. I got home from Napier last night at 7.30pm and as I was driving into Palmy I gat a call from DH to say Andrew was sick (sor tummy and back and ears) and he was taking him to the hospital. I stayed with him as I had just drunken a red bull so had heaps of energy (even afer the drive home and the concert before that). So we went into ED at 10pm and the dr had a check of him and tried to keep his temp down (was sitting around 39-40 for a while, finally came down at 2am) and found out that he has an (other) ear infection and white blood cells were sky high. I came home with him at 2.30am and I got about 2 hours sleep when he threw up so back to ED we went at 5am. Saw the same dr again who got the pead in straight away and after another blood test (this time an iv was put in) Andrew was admitted. He saw the pead just before I left and he was still waiting on a few blood results to come back but his throat and ears a majorly infected and a few lyph(sp?) nodes are inflamed. But still the white cell count is climbing. Fingers crossed he is ok. But i'm going to have a few hours sleep now before I go back up there.
I am so glad my sister was able to come up to palmy from Wellington today to help out with Josh.

How are things tonight Becks? I'm guessing since you haven't been on, that he will be staying in tonight. Big hugs!

oh thats awful when your baby is sick (no matter how older baby they are)
Brooke was the same two weekends ago, she threw up all day saturday, took her temp and it was 41.. I kid you not I checked again cause i thought it was a wrong reading. Rung the dr line (we have no weekend dr on here or else would of been straight round there and A and E is half hour drive) she suggested to get the temp down - cold bath, fan, strip her off - these all were done although brooke said she was freezing. It took pamol and another 2 hours for her temp to come down to 38.7 (still high but less)Also what worried me was her neck was sore and she complained it was sore and you know what went thru my mind - menegitis! we just kept an eye on her all sunday she wasn't herself, monday she woke and cried cause her throat was very sore, took to Dr she has Strep throat.
I tell you this story as Andrew sounds alot like what Brooke was like.. I hope he is feeling better soon.
