Absence

I apologize for my absence in updating. I have TONS of pictures to upload and edit and stories to share...but...there has been lots going on in our home.

SICKNESS!


Lilah has been sick for 12 days straight. Fevers. Diarrhea. Breathing Treatments. MEDS upon MEDS upon MEDS.

In the midst of that the older three got the stomach bug this weekend. One started..and the rest kept on and on and on. I have been crazy disinfecting, cleaning, etc. The older three are better, but Lilah...she has progressively gotten worse.

Friday to Sunday I gave round the clock Motrin and Tylenol to keep her 102.8 temp away.Monday I took her back to the pediatrician. She was given a breathing treatment in the office. Her o2 stats were 93-96 before the treatment. After...99. Her WBC was 21. 3 times the normal.
Lilah had a shot of Rocephin. Then more meds were given.

Yesterday she was better for about 2 hours. THEN...the moaning started again. Miserable. She was just miserable. Last night at 11:47- diarrhea again and the fever came back. I gave her motrin. I rocked her back to sleep and prayed for her to get well. At 5:43am...another diarrhea diaper. Wheezing. I gave her a treatment, tylenol and began to get VERY concerned.

I consider myself a patient person(Thank you God for giving me Lilah to teach me that quality even more so), but after 12 days. I had HAD enough of this.

I took Lilah back to the pediatrician today and she was given another shot of Rocephin. Her diarrhea is so bad that....well, let's just say that the diapers aren't working and her hiney is very red and swollen. So, meds to stop the diarrhea. Meds for her hiney.
Here is a list of Lilah's daily meds:
  • Oral Antibiotic
  • Lotemax-eye drops
  • Truspot-eye drops
  • Singulair
  • Albuterol
  • Pulmicort
  • Axid
  • Mix for her sore throat
  • Immodium
  • Nystatin..for the bum

I am praying that WHATEVER this is will leave her body once and for all!!

I promise to update the stories and pictures soon...but Lilah needs me.
Thank you for keeping her in your prayers!
