kids sick

hello everyone

sorry been so long since i posted been busy we left here on sunday

the 2nd to go visit my husbands family in ill. we stayed with his

brother and his family and we were there till thursday we were going

to stay till sunday but his brothers wife keep leaving the door open

and the kids were sleeping right by it and got sick so we had to

come home early to get kids to the doctor good thing we did cuz

devin was so sick he ended up having to be taken to st. mary's in

rochester by helicopter and he was put on a vent for 8 days he just

got off of it yesterday and he was put in a coma so he would not

fight the vent and then after they took him off that they thought

that he was going to have to go back on but he pulled out of it with

some steriods and then his heart started acting up it went all the

way down to 62 at one point but after they stopped all his sedation

meds he pulled out of that. they took him out of icu today and to

the regular peds floor and they think he will be there for about a

week or more they are checking his tyroid out and if it is not

normal they will put him on meds for that the reason they are

checking that is cuz his soft spot is not closin and sometimes it

will not close due to tyroid trouble if it comes back normal then

they will keep him and put a shunt in the surgeon that will do that

surgery is a nice doctor and explained everything really good

then when we were on our way back from rochester my sister called me

since she had my other three kids and katelyn had statred runing a

104.5 temp sp we took her back in and they admitted her for the cold

her o2 was only at about 86 or so so she was in from friday till

tuesday hunter got sick also but did not enfd up getting admitted so

that was good so as you can all tell i have had one heck of a two

weeks

i just came home tonight to get some much needed rest and relaxtion

for being at the hospital for over a week

hope you are all well

I'm so sorry your kids aren't doing well. I'll be thinking of them today. Let

us know when they're doing better.

It sounds as thought you have had a hectic time lately. How old are your

children anyways? I can't imagine a child dealing to well with the whole vent

thing so it was probably a good thing that they put him in a coma.(it's amazing

what they can do with medicines.) I will keep your kids in my mind and heart

and I will say a prayer for them. Hope everything continues to look up and they

all get better soon.
