White Count update...

Just wanted to let everyone know the white counts are down to normal!!
We went Friday for the recheck and we were so pleased to find out - so happy i could cry.
Thanks to everyone for the prayers - God is AWESOME!

Need your prayers

Madden's teacher at daycare (which I absolutely love) just found out she has leukemia - the fast growing kind. She is now at the lake receiving intensive chemo for 30 straight days. Please keep her in your prayers. She has had two family members pass from this and the doctors say her prognosis does not look good. But what do they know - they are not in control here-GOD IS!

Good news..

Madden's blood cultures came back negative for bacteria - that's great!
So we go back Friday (tomorrow) for a follow up blood work to check to make sure the white count is down - and for 6 month shots!
They grow up way too fast :(

Here we go again

So, we went to the doc Tuesday b/c of what I thought was an ear infection. To our surprise - it was not. After several blood work and cultures they figured it was bacteremia - an infection in the blood. They sent the cultures to a specialist and we will find out next week what the bacteria is and exactly what we are in for. He is on antibiotics and is acting more like himself - thank goodness!!
One day I will post something that does not involve madden being sick!!
love yall

Madden's First Easter

 

Madden update!

Ok, I am sure most of you know, but just in case you dont; we got home Saturday from a luxurious (not really) getaway at the 5 start resort OLOL. Madden started two weeks ago with a bad cough....doc started him on breathing treatments when needed but saturday night they got severely worse. We took him to the ER (after calling the after hrs nurse) Sunday night and he was admited and we spent 7 wonder (sarcastic) days in the hospital.
He was put on Oxygen (was taken out tuesday) and given breathing treatments. He was tested for pertussis and RSV - He eneded up having Bronchiolitis - just as common as a cold but can get bad if not caught early.
We had a wonderful group of nurses (give or take one or two) and all in all our stay was pretty smooth. Other than one incedent where the lab tech grabbed us up and when we got down to the xray room she realized she grabbed the wrong kid - Madden was screaming and I was pissed - Oh, and this was the day I was by myself!
I just want to thank all our family who helped out - yall are awesome!
So we are now home (still contagious till the end of the week and only to babies) and he is talking up a storm like nothing ever happened - or maybe he is telling all his toys about his interesting expereience.
Either way...it is so rewarding; especially when you are exhausted!
Love yall
