Hello there. My ms kenadie decided she wanted to complicate things just a bit more. Yesterday's appt went okay. Her weight was hanging steady. So her doc decided to give her vacs. Before she gave the vacs i told her i thought something was off with kenadie. She said okay that we would watch it. Well last night she decided to spike a 101.5 fever and be very very cranky. So I called the on call nurse she told me to call the doc so i have to call the on call nurse to get ahold of her. She says be in the office at 815am this morning. So we do. They take a pee sample and ms kenadie is still running a fever. Do a chest xray and it is a bit fuzzy and hazy. So they decide to do blood samples that we are waiting on. Her urine test was spilling out white cells in it. So that equates to an infection. So they gave her a shot of antibiotics and now we wait to find out if she has to go in hossy for antibiotic drip or we can do oral. Her cbc will tell us the story. She has also lost 2 oz in weight overnight so her doc was a bit skeptic. She was trying to decide on throwing us in the hospital now or wait it out. I chose the wait it out method for right now. Until we have a firm answer. Just because like she said the hospital is a germ breeding ground and she has a piss poor immune system right now so we can't afford her to get anything she does not already have. Oh while they were doing her xrays they noticed that her gi tract is thickening and they are going to have to watch that and make sure it does not do anything funky.
Ah funny story.. the xray tech that did my daughters chest xray said "did you know she has wires in her chest?" oh my people i was so tempted to say no but i said yes. I mean seriously.. did you think i did not know?
So anywho.. we are waiting on the doc to call and let us know what is going on. She said bw would probably come back in the morning.
Now i have a mini rant. I am feeding kenadie this morning in the office.. a lady tells her dh that i should cover her up and her child should not have to see that. Umm do i tell her to cover her baby when he eats?? NO! She told him it is unnerving.. IT IS A FEEDING TUBE PEOPLE! NOT AN ORGAN HANGING OUT! I can understand.. It took me a bit to look at it. But really it is not horrid looking or anything. Plus do they really feel the need to say stuff loud enough to where i can hear it? My child is precious in every way in my eyes. So really i dont care just makes me irritated at how stubborn folks can be.

OMG, people get on my nerves. If my DD asked what it the feeding tube was, I would explain it to her. It's life people, not a fairytale land!!!! Anyways, I hope that Kenadie gets her act together, LOL! She needs to get better quick! No more of these backwards steps, do you hear me Ms. Kenadie!!!!!!
(((HUGS))) Jen
I wish that your little Kenadie stays as healthy as she can... As far as the feeding tube! UGH, Ok, I am a private duty home care nurse (how I would LOVE to care for your little one!! :)) And the kids I care for most often have a feeding tube. It's like this, I eat with a fork, they eat with a tube. It's no freaking different. I think it is so rude that people even comment, she is beautiful! Anyway, tell Miss Kenadie to feel better and gain some weight!!! Hugs, Prayers and Support to you!
