Guest guest Posted April 24, 2000 Report Share Posted April 24, 2000 OK we went and saw the PICC line nurse, tonight....and is getting to stay up late (yep, its midnight!) drinking ensure plus and hopefully that way he really will be effected by the sedation.....crossing fingers. Anyway, she of course remembered me from Mallory.....so everything went ok tonight and isn't the least bit worried or nervous.... gosh I only hope I can get up early enough to get him there by 8:30, heheeh , I don't know what to tell ya.....I HATE it when other people act like me or any other Mom is possibly exaggerating, imagining, or overreacting to the kids symptoms..... that is so irritating! We haven't had that problem with and Mallory too much...if anything other people are usually over reacting or we have gotten so used to whatever the symptom that we don't freak about it til other people react. But when Mallory was a baby it used to drive me nuts that I would tell Ron that something isn't right and he'd say, she's fine Jen.....then I'd insist on going to the ped. and x-rays would show aspiration pneumonia again. Grrrr. Of course, you'd love to be wrong in this case, right? thats the catch 22, you want them to be right, for 's sake.....but you also don't want to be wrong.... Well, please consider this.....you are likely very very right. Even if the chest x-ray is fine....then prob. something is going on sinus wise. You know your kid better than anyone else. I know weeks before anything is dramatically wrong that something is going on. With , we asked for the CT scan on his sinuses before he looked horrible, because the mommy in me knew what it'd show...and b/c we knew it takes a month to get the dang thing scheduled..... Anyway, I hope it goes ok, call me if you want if she gets admitted..... I will tell you this about our doc....if he thinks you want admitted, then he will admit her. IF he thinks you want to avoid it at all cost, then he will try to help you do that. (at first, we HATED that mamsy pamsy type lassaiz faire attitude, but we have grown to respect it in light of what some other parents on the list deal with) Hopefully, we won't be there tomorrow afternoon!!!! Take care, and please when you get time, read my next post re: our docs/nurses...... Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
