the update of my son joshua

WELL THIS IS MY UPDATE OF MY SON. SINCE THE LAST POST, HE WAS DOING A LOT BETTER. HE WAS CALMING DOWN WITH THE SEIZURES. ABOUT CLOSE TO TWO WEEKS AGO, HE WAS LOOKING VERY WEAK, NO COLOR TO HIM, AND NOT DOING ANYTHING. SO HE HAD A APPOINTMENT TO HIS PEDETRICIAN. THEY SAID HE SOUNDED A LITTLE FUNNY. SO THEY GAVE HIM A NEBULIZER. ONCE I STARTED IT HIS FINGERS WERE TUERNING BLUE. SO MY MOTHER WAS CALLING THE NURSE. SO WE TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED. THEY CALLED THE AMBULANCE. THE HOSPITAL WAS RIGHT DOWN THE BLOCK FROM THERE. THANK GOD FOR THAT. THEY TOOK HIM IN QUICKLY. HE ALWAYS HAD A PROBLEM GETTING BLOOD FROM HIM. THEY NEVER COULD FIND HIS VEINS. WELL THEY COULDN'T GET ONE ON HIS HEAD, NOT IN HIS ARMS, NOT ON THE LEGS, AND THEY COULDN'T GET ONE ON HIS NECK. SO THEY HAD TO DO A CENTRAL LINE IN HIS GROIN. IT WAS A PROCEDURE SO I COULDN'T BEE IN THERE. ONCES THEY DID THAT THEY GAVE HIM SOME LIQUIDS AND THEY TOOK SOME BLOOD TESTS. HE WAS DOING BETTER AGAIN. HIS TEMP WASN'T NORMAL. IT WAS 96.5. SO THEY SAID THAT IT WAS HYPOTHERMIA. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT. AND THEY TOOK AN X RAY. THAT SHOWED THAT HE HAD NUEMONIA. HOW THE HECK MY SON GOT NUEMONIA AND HYPOTHERMIA? THEY SAID THAT HE CAN GET IT FROM KIDS WHO GO NEAR HIM WHO ARE SICK. I HAVE TWO OTHER BOYS AND THEY WEREN'T SICK. BUT THEN AGAIN THEY GO TO SCHOOL. EVERY TIME THEY COME HOME FROM SCHOOL I TELL THEM TO GO WASH THERE HANDS BEFORE THEY TOUCH HIM. ANYWAYS, THEY GAVE HIM SOME ANTIOBIOTIC CALLED CEFDINIR FOR THE BACTERIA. WHAT EVER IS THERE IT WILL KILL IT. THEN HIS NUEROLOGIST UPPED HIS KEPPRA MEDICATION. SO YOU CAN SAY HE WAS ON 4 MEDICATIONS. WHEN I FINALLY GOT OUT OF THE HOSPITAL, HE WAS ACTING A LITTLE DIFFERENT. HE STARTED YELLING AND SCREAMING. HE HASN'T REALLY SLEPT. HIS MOUTH HAD ALL WHITE STUFF ON IT. I'M ASKING MYSELF WHAT IS THIS? SO HE HAD A FOLLOW APPT WITH HIS PEDETRICIAN. SO I TOLD HIM ABOUT IT AND HE SAID THAT IS CALLED THRUSH. IT IS FROM THE CEFDINIR. AND SO HE GAVE ME ANOTHER ANTIBIOTIC CALLED NYSTATIN FOR THRUSH. I HAVE TO GIVE IT TO HIM 2 TIMES A DAY FOR THREE WEEKS. IT IS GONE ALREADY BUT I STILL HAVE TO GIVE IT TO HIM. NOW HIS HEAD IS GOING SIDE TO SIDE. HE NEVER DONE THAT EITHER. NOW I HAVE TO FIGURE IF THAT IS FROM THE CEFDINIR OR THE NYSTATIN OR WHAT? HE DID THAT WHEN I WAS COMING OUT FROM THE HOSPITAL. I REALLY HATE MEDICATION FOR MY SON. HE HAS BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH. I FEEL SO BAD AND SO USELESS. SOME TIMES I CA'T SLEEP AT NIGHT BECASUE SINCE HE IS TEETHING HE IS CRYNG TWICE A NIGHT. I HAVE TO CALM HIM DOWN. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LISTENING TO WHAT I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT MY SON JOSHUA. I JUST NEED TO TALK TO SOMEONE THAT IS IN THE SAME BOAT AS I AM. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS FOR ABOUT 11 MONTHS. WE ALL HAVE PRAYED ON HIM. I HAD A PASTOR COME TO THE HOSPITAL WHEN I WAS THERE THE 1ST TIME AND HE PRAYED OVER MY SON. WHAT ELSE CAN I DO? THE ONLY THING THAT I HATE IS THAT I HAVE TO JUST WAIT IT OUT. I WOULD LIKE TO DO SO MUCH FOR MYSELF AND FOR HIM AND I CAN'T REALLY DO ANYTHING. IF ANY ONE CAN HELP ME OUT WITH SOME INFORMATION ON ANYTHIN I WOULD LOVE SOME FEED BACK.
