EMMA JUST CALLED WITH AN UPDATE ON DANIEL. THE DOCTOR SAID THE HERPES/TARGET RASH CAUSES SWELLING. DANIEL IS FEELING THE FULL EFFECT OF THIS AND ALL IT'S SYMPTOMS. HE IS GIVING DANIEL A DOSE OF STEROIDS, AND A 4 DAY PRESCRIPTION OF STEROIDS. HE SAID TO CONTINUE TO GIVE HIM TYLENOL EVERY 4 HOURS AND COOL BATHS 2 TO 3 TIMES A DAY. AND ALSO DON'T OVER DRESS HIM. RIGHT NOW A DIAPER AND A LIGHT TSHIRT IS BETTER. IF HE IS TOO HOT HE WILL SWEAT AND CAUSE THE RASH TO ITCH. AND MOST OF ALL KEEP HIM INDOORS. HE DOESN'T WANT SUN EXPOSURE GETTING ON THE RASH OR INSECT BITES. THE DOCTOR (A REAL PEDIATRICIAN) NOT SOMEONE JUST LEARNING, TOLD DAN NO MATTER WHAT IF ANYTHING CHANGES BRING DANIEL IN. THAT IS WHY HE IS THERE AND THE HOSPITAL IS THERE.
DAN SAID DANIEL IS SUCH A GOOD BOY FOR THE DOCTOR. HE ANSWERS THE DOCTORS QUESTIONS, LIKE DOES IT HURT HERE OR HURT THERE. THAT'S MY LIL MAN, SMART AS A WHIP. PLEASE CONTINUE TO KEEP DANIEL IN YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS.
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH.......CINDY
PS REBECCA KEPT ME UP HALF THE NIGHT. THIS BENEDRYL DOES NOT WORK FOR HER. SHE WOKE UP AT 4:30AM SO CONJESTED AND HAD A FEVER. JIM WENT OUT AND GOT TYLENOL FOR HER FEVER AND ROBITUSSIN CF. I ALREADY SEE AND HEAR A DIFFERENCE. IT'S BREAKING IT UP AND SHE'S ABLE TO COUGH UP THE CONGESTION AND BLOW ALOT FROM HER NOSE. HER NOSE IS PEELING FROM BLOWING IT SO MUCH. I GOT HER PUFF'S TISSUES WITH ALOE AND I BEEN PUTTING NEOSPORIN OINTMENT ON IT. IT LOOKS BETTER.
MAN...you need a serious vacation Cindy!!!!!! I insist that tomorrow, you do nothing but RELAX!!!!!!!!!

Did they check his blood? I think they should keep him there overnite for observation. I do not like the sound of that.
ReplyDeleteI hope he gets better...He will be in my prayers.
THANK GOD finally a doctor that actually cares and knows something. I'm so sorry Daniel is getting this so badly. Do you think it's because they made him wait for diagnosis? I would really watch him. Steroids help with itching and inflammation. Maybe he got that so his throat didn't swell. My girls get it for breathing.
ReplyDeleteKeeping those prayers coming your way. Hope Rebecca gets better too.
Take care and Hugs, Chrissie
i am so sorry Daniel is going thru this...i was always so upset and miserable when my kids were miserable. Glad the doc is helping out!
