Re: I Hate Hospitals

Oh Cyndi -- What a totally frustrating experience for both you and !!

I'm sorry you had such a bad day. My son, , would have been the exact

same way -- he would have had to have been sedated also. Did the hospital

admit that you were right??

How is today?

Cyndi from one to another ...

I FEEL FOR you!!!!!

Honestly.... i been hestiate to post any place but we are going through somethig

similar with Dayton (8yr,DS/Autism) Thursday will be 3 weeks ago he got up from

playing..middle of the room with a limp. He sits on the floor and litterally

loose his balance. Sorta of like a stroke person. WELL after going to the PED,

NEURO, BONE DR and LAB and X-rays... Guess what.. you got.. NOTHING SHOWING

UP!!!

What... I am lost... the neuro in no hurry to do a MRI.. set a month off.. The

EEG(yep think he having seizures too)...... set after the MRI like 5 days

LATER!!!

Well as of last friday till now... he walks HOLDING his left leg and tears in

the eyes.. I am pumpng him with motrin hope it helping but I know it really not.

We are to see a PED bone dr on the 17th.. UGh... I know IF I TOOK him to the ER

at Children's 3 1/2 hrs away.. we would be admitted for unknown reason and

Dayton would rip a new hole in everyone @$$ because he will not tolarate a IV

but will a shot... even blood work.. he can do.. of course take nearly 3-4 to

hold him. X-rays are next to impossible.. took 5 of us.. to hold him for hip

x-ray... UGH..

So wish I could tell you what to do.. because.. I AM RIGHT WITH YOU!!!!!

So come to south GA.. we can cry together...

I hope everyones 4th was better than mine.I had to take to the

hospital.When he got up this morning he looked like Rocky Balboa

after a boxing match and he could not open his eyes.Yesterday I took

him to the doctor because his forehead was swollen and the doc said

he thought had cellulitis.I read on web md this can be caused

by a mosquito bite, etc.The Dr. thought a bug bit him on the

head,cause impetigo and went into cellulitis.Yesterday the Doc put

him on augmentin for the cellulitis and bactraban for impetigo.I was

so scared when I saw today because he could not open his eyes.

On web MD is said cellulitis can go into meningitis.I got to the

hospital at 10 a.m. was seen by a Dr. by 11:30 am.The Hospital Doc

wanted to do a CT scan to rule out infection and breakage of a

bone.Also they wanted to give and IV and I said you will have

to totally sedate him or he will rip out the IV.The hospital gave my

son ADAVAn which made him hyper and he did not go to sleep.I keep

stressing you need to totally sedate him.So they gave him versaid

but still he did not go to sleep.When the IV was to go in they were

supposed to give him more meds in the IV well he got nothing. I was

livid. I talked to the ER and the Main nurse and maid DR and they

assured me they would sedate him. Wrong. Do these professional not

know that we know I children better than anybody?The CT scan

nevertheless did not give them a full reading because he would not

totally go to sleep and lie still.These professional know that for a

CT scan you have to lay still and yet they thought they would get a

reading anyway. Well after being there at 10a.m. and checking out at

6:30p.m. the docs still were not sure maybe my son hit his head and

that is a possibility with being violet it's just I never saw

him hit himself so hard he could have done this to himself.Today was

a wasted day at the hospital. 's eyes were sooo swollen he

looked like BeetleJuice around the eyes after BeetleJuice was in an

extreme punching match.What do you guys think I should do next with

this situation? Cyndi

[Guest guest]

I would definitely call the dr. again and scream! Is there another hospital you

can get to? How is he this morning? Once things have settled, report the

incident at the hospital to the state and to it's administrators.

Hi Cyndi,

I don't like them either. We have a children's hospital fairly close by and

they are no better. Our pediatrician is very good so I always contact her first

before going to a hospital. She can call ahead and give the dr's a heads up. Is

any better today? I would contact your pediatrician.

Oh boy , I'm so sorry! You've got a wild one there if he won't go to

sleep with Attavan AND versed!!! Wow. I know they are supposed to put in some

deprivan or something after the versed to knock them out totally but for a short

time. We had the opposite problem last time actually, they gave versed

first (liquid) then deprovan to knock her out for ear surgery. She came off of

the deprovan easily enough like usual but they gave her way too much versed and

she was unconscious for hours and hours. It was so scary. But at least now " I "

know so I can tell the docs next time and they'll listen to me RIGHT???

Noooooooo. So sorry you had to go thru this!

Liz, Great Idea. I did call the administrative office this morning

and the person I need is out of town. I never thought of resporting

them to the state. His eyes are open this morning but I can tell he

is in pain. His eyes are so black he looks like Beatle Juice.I have

an eye appointment, and I am trying to get him into a neurologist.

Thanks for asking. I saw the pictures from the picnic and I hated it

we could not be there. I cried when I saw everyone.How is everything

going with you and your hospital stay? Cyndi

Dear , My son had a therapist that stood him up to a chair at

2 yrs of age to teach him how to stand. Her words " I let go of him

to teach him the consequences of falling " . Guess what he broke his

leg. I took him to the ER and they though he was constipated, even

though they took and x-ray.I knew something was wrong with his leg

and I took him to a bone specialist and he had a hairline crack in

his left leg.I put him in the tub and I had my daughter entertain

him and when I got to his leg he would scream.That was before we

went to the hospital er.You know your child better than anyone if

you feel something is wrong find a new doc, sports medicine,a better

bone specialist.Maybe his leg went to sleep and when he stood up he

broke something or sprained something.My son did not learn to walk

until he was 5 yrs old because of his leg because even after his leg

healed he would not crawl or try to stand on his leg. We went

through and EEG with a total sedation because someone at the

hospital looked at for 1 minute and thought they could do an

EEG without sedation, and they were wrong.Now the person that

thought the EEG could be done without sedation worked in sedation

and not in the EEG dept. Why do we have to be so pushy to get the

right help for our kids? You are entitled to a second, third or

whatever opinion so keep pushing. Thanks for letting me know I am

not alone. Cyndi

Hey Charlyne, is the same today and very restless.I actually

called the Dr.s office on the 4th and the Dr. he saw was off another

Doc was on call. She did call the hospital and she explained is

special needs but apparently they did not listen. No one really

knows what is wrong with . He will be seeing an eye Doc today.

Thanks for your help and concern, and I am trying to find a

Sherry, I am sure that was scarey for you. That happened to

after he had his EEG. The versaid sedated him so much he sleep

through the night. We need more expect Doc with special needs kids.

his left leg.I put him in the tub and I had my daughter entertain

him and when I got to his leg he would scream.That was before we

went to the hospital er.You know your child better than anyone if

you feel something is wrong find a new doc, sports medicine,a better

bone specialist.Maybe his leg went to sleep and when he stood up he

broke something or sprained something.My son did not learn to walk

until he was 5 yrs old because of his leg because even after his leg

healed he would not crawl or try to stand on his leg. We went

through and EEG with a total sedation because someone at the

hospital looked at for 1 minute and thought they could do an

EEG without sedation, and they were wrong.Now the person that

thought the EEG could be done without sedation worked in sedation

and not in the EEG dept. Why do we have to be so pushy to get the

right help for our kids? You are entitled to a second, third or

whatever opinion so keep pushing. Thanks for letting me know I am

not alone. Cyndi

Friday how is doing if swelling is gone but eyes are still

black.In rare cases of children ages 1-3 yrs old sometimes kidney

stones or problems can cause the eyes to do something similar.

Charlyne, The therapist went bye bye and yet she called me crying

and wanted to know why I did not want her back. I called several

attorneys and no one would take this cause or if the company did not

offer to pay our medical expenses. What a joke. Thanks for asking

Sherry, is on an antibiotic and the eye Dr. I took him to said

if he nots better on Friday call me. Monday was the

peditrician,Tuesday the hospital, Wed the eye Dr., today Thurs. the

heart Dr, and tommorrow the Ear,nose, and throat.They think he has

cellulistis and that can go in minigitis.I am tired and I know I am

not spelling correct so forgive me my brain is not working. had

RSV when he was a baby and I took him to the Doc everyday for a week

and finally they hospitalized him.The Doc that was seeing him did

not know it was RSV. Finally another doc in the group saw him and

said it was RSV.You are right some Dr.s have very little bedside

manor and little concern. One ear, nose, and throat Doc waited until

we had had 4 office visit and one for a sleep study and then told me

he would feel more comfortable if I took my son to someone on staff

and the hospital.What a waste of my time.How long ago did she have

the multiple pneumonias? Cyndi

Johanna had a total of eight before she turned five.

She is now on IV IG for primary immune deficiency disorder. It is the start

of her second year and she gets them monthly.

A lot of the problems were her illnesses combined with the ignorance of

pediatricians, er docs and her specialists.

They never heard her wheezing, she never ran high fevers, if any. Her white

counts never elevated in her CBC's. Her demeanor was never of a sick child.

We have found a wonderful asthma/allergy specialist who actually has the

skill and training the manage her respiratory condition and immune disorder.

The it has taken a long time to find decent specialists/pediatricians here

in south Florida.

Charlyne, The pharmacist suggested a bee sting. He said he got stung

near his mouth and his whole side of his face swelled like

enstein.I just an at a lost and I do not know what to think.I

just want this to go away because I know is miserable.I am

trying him on Benadryl.The ears nose and throat Doc that has only

heard about and has not seen him suggested this.I pharmacist

said it may help with swelling but the antibiotic should do this.

Charlyne what do you think? I am doing all I know I can do and I do

not feel it is enough. Cyndi

they not take this more seriously?Thanks for being concerned Cyndi

Ok here goes I'll probably get put on the black list but...It may not be a

matter of not taking it more seriously but more of a they just don't know what

it is. Were you recommended to take him for further testing? You have to

remember that we are mothers and we want things fixed now not later and we get

upset and mad when the people we think should have all the answers don't. I

know you don't want to hear this but even doctors don't have all the answers

and we tend to expect more and even sometimes miracles from those in the

medical field and when we don't get them we are angry and think they aren't

doing their jobs. Monitor watch for any signs that things are changing

and

keep your doctor notified and make those appointments as soon as you can even

if have to wait to see the neuro because you would still want him checked to

make sure there are no after effects. Maybe they didn't put in the

hospital because that would me more traumatic on him and he could be monitored

at home knowing that you would bring him back if necessary. Please don't get

mad or offended, because I that is not my intention but sometimes the only

thing you can do is wait and see and Pray. My heart goes out to and yo

u and I hope you find out what is going on and soon and that has a

speedy recovery. My prayers are with both of you.

Hi Cyndi,

I don't know what I would do but I would be screaming at my ped. I think this

is way too long for not one medical person to have an answer. Keep us posted.
