Cole has been sick all week. After two days of seeing the Dr and tons of meds and breathing treatments....he took a bad turn for the worse.Thursday he started throwing up along with a 104 temp and coughing non stop. Jim and I decided to take him to the ER.
We were taken straight back and had a wonderful Dr and nurse.
As the hours went on with us in the ER his temp got to 105.3 and he got even sicker. They decided to admit him and run a ton of test.
We went upstairs at 5:38 am...I can honestly say I think I have never been so tired.
Cole is still in the hospital. As the nurse said he is the sickest child on the floor right now. That makes me so sad and worried about him.
His test came back showing he has RSV and Mycoplasma pneumonia.
He is on a IV, oxygen and a special antibiotic . Respiratory works with him every 3 hours. They also have added insulin due to his blood sugars being very off. When they tested his chemistry in the ER his blood sugars were 323. Which is extremely high. He is now being tested every 4 hrs and they continue to be elevated. They have sent in a specialist to talk with me about his numbers and a follow up plan.
Cole's temp is now staying around 103 and he is sleeping around the clock.
He is in double isolation . I am glad he is sleeping so much..I think he would be scared too death if he saw how everyone has to dress to come in the room.
I can honestly say...I feel so blessed to know that he is getting wonderful care. The nurses have been so kind and caring. And the two new specialist seem to really be on top of the new issues with Cole.
I am so very thankful that we came in and did not wait till the morning to have him seen again. That could of been a very dangerous outcome for Cole. We had no idea his blood sugars were so off. And if it had not been for a very aggressive ER Dr we may not of found out .
As each Dr has told us..each of theses can be hard to get over..and then you have him having both and high blood sugars...he is very sick and will have a hard few days ahead of him.
He is so sweet and so brave. I am just looking forward to seeing him smile again and get back home.

I'm so glad you have such a great team of doctors and nurses there taking care of your son.
It must be so hard on a mom to see her little one in the hospital!

Praying for you and for peace for your whole family!

Oh dear God I am SO glad you took him to the ER!! I am so sorry to hear that Cole man is so sick, I cannot imagine how scary this has been for you!! I literally got teary when I read this...Praying for you and your sweet family...
Oh, I'm sorry to hear Cole is sick. Hang in there. Something i've learned from the past is that being so sick can cause your blood sugar to increase. Hopefully that is the case. But i'm sure no matter the cause, it makes it harder to heal. I'm praying for you.
My heart goes out to you and Jim. What a terrifying time it must have been to have Cole so sick and not knowing what it was. I will for sure keep him in our prayers, praying that he will recover quickly and completely. Take care of yourself so you will be able to take care of Cole.
Praying hard for your dear sweet Cole to get over this quickly so he can be happy, healthy and where he belongs, at home.
Amy, I am praying for you and for little Cole. You guys have been through so much already.
Whomever said they leave your blog depressed need to leave and never return. That way they can never be depressed again.
We LOVE you and NOTHING about your blog depresses those who love and care for you.
((Amy & Cole))
