Sick Kiddo
Well, all my plans got scrapped today as I dealt with a very sick child. Nathan has been struggling with allergies for years now. His latest trip to the ear, nose and throat specialist resulted in a CAT scan. We are still awaiting the results.
He is pretty ill today. He is running a fever, has a sore throat, wheezing and can barely breathe. We ended up in the doctor's office just to find that it is still all related to his allergies. So, he is now on another medication. This makes 5 different kinds of medications he is taking for various problems.
I feel bad because I had a fire burning in the fireplace all day on Saturday which triggered his asthma. His allergies are so frustrating to deal with because there is not a whole lot we can do. He is severely allergic to dust mites and it seems to be getting worse. Unfortunately, when he is sick, it also causes him to have even more tics from the Tourette's Syndrome.
He just threw up because of all the gunk running down his throat and told me he hopes tomorrow is a better day. Poor guy. :-(

Poor Nathan. I'll keep him in prayer.
ReplyDeleteOh Terri, poor Nathan. It's so hard to deal with kid's allergies, isn't it? Very frustrating, I know what it's like. My two are the same. Praying for some answers and something which will work for Nathan. Praying for you too dear Terri.

Thank you ladies for your thoughts and prayers. He is still sick but feeling a bit better today. I think the antibiotic is starting to work.
ReplyDeleteTerri,
ReplyDeleteI hope Nathan will feel better soon. It is hard to see your children sick. I pray that he will have a speedy recovery.

Terri - you & Nathan are in my prayers (indeed all your family). Allergies are so unpredictable as I have found to my cost lately. Hope he is feeling much better today:)
ReplyDeleteWe are praying for Nathan, too! I wish that there were something that we could do to make life a little better for him.
ReplyDeleteTerri, Did you find out what is wrong yet?
ReplyDeleteStephanie, we did not. I have to call the ENT to make an appointment and see the results of the CAT scan.
