Jack's behavior has been really terrible for the past week. I now know why. He woke up early this morning and didn't seem to be feeling well. I decided to keep him home -- and I am glad I did.
I decided to call the pediatrician because we noticed Jack's pee smelled really, really bad and perhaps he has an infection...
He was really down and out and slept most of the morning. He woke up and ate, and then at 11 am he had a small seizure lasting about 45 seconds.
Then he was really pale and sickly looking. They got us in and out at the dr's office and confirmed (via straight cath) he does have an infection. They are starting him on antibiotics and will call us when the culture comes back for the lab. I know some of you remember the ordeal back in 2007 when he went round and round with a nasty kidney infection and ended up hospitalized to finally get rid of it! I really, really hope this is done after one round of meds!
I hope you're all doing well! I do have so much else to write about -- especially school! Jack is doing amazingly well and I couldn't be happier with his placement. (((hugs)) to you all!
I hope he is feeling better soon!
ReplyDeleteI hope Jack is feeling better soon. Glad his school placement is working out.
ReplyDeleteOh bless your heart, you have a ton going on. I hope all gets better soon in your world, and keep us updated.

Get well soon, Jack!
ReplyDeleteHi. Newcomer to this blog, I am sorry he's sick. It's always so hard with our kids to know what's going on; my son, who's 5 and has cp, once had an ear infection for a couple of days before we realized what was up. I look forward to catching up on your posts and reading your future ones.
ReplyDeleteJack is a handsome guy! I've always said, half-jokingly, that it's a good thing Max is so cute because I think it's always made therapists go the extra mile for him.
