So I'm posting about Isaiah once again because it's never a dull moment with him. This last week on Wednesday I went to get my hair done and Dwayne called me and said that Isaiah had thrown up. I didn't think much of it because he does that from time to time and he just get up and goes right after it. But this time when I got home he was laying on the couch looking so sick. He threw up two times on the couch because he couldn't make it to the bathroom quick enough. And then I got him a bucket and he just kept on throwing up every five min. So I immediately called the pediatrician on call. And to no surprise the doctor was of no help. He kept rambling on about watching him for 24 hrs and making sure he doesn't get dehydrated. And then when I told him about Isaiah's liver condition and that he had had a Kasi done. He didn't know what a Kasi was. So after wasting 5 min of my life I hung up and called Primary children's hospital. I talked to the Liver doctor on call and he said just come to the ER right now. I knew there was something wrong and I knew that we were going to go to the hospital. So we went in and he was still throwing up every five min so the gave him Zofran( wonder drug) to help him stop throwing up and it helped he stopped. Then the took some blood and put in an IV to give him fluids. The nurse doing the IV asked me to hold his other arm and his legs while she poked him and she asked him to look at me, but he didn't want to he just watched her. And he didn't flinch or cry. He is so brave. Then they sent us upstairs when his room was ready.
When we got upstairs they told us that he did have a liver infection called Cholangistis. He's had this before but it has been two years. So they hooked up an antibiotic to his Iv. And then about an hour later he started itching on his head. I couldn't figure out what was wrong. But the nurse knew exactly what was wrong. She said it's Red mans. Which is a reaction not an allergic reaction where your face turns red and then your head itched really bad. So they had to stop the antibiotic and give him some bendryl before they could finish it. Meanwhile he was crying really hard because they wouldn't let him eat or drink anything. But once the Benedryl kicked in he was fine and went to sleep. By this time it was 3 in the morning. So I left to go home, take a shower and get some clean clothes. And then I went back to the hospital to get 2 hrs of sleep.
They came in at 6 am to draw some more blood from Isaiah and they asked me if they should wake him up and I said no. And he slept through the blood draw. I hat needles but they don't phase him. So they made us stay in the hospital for 48 hrs to make sure all his blood tests were negative. But Isaiah was back to being Isaiah. He was eating good and all he wanted to do was go to the play room all day. Then Isaiah got diarrhea. And the doctor said he could have a virus on top of the Liver infection. When he gets a liver infection his immune system goes down so he is susceptible to catching things easier. So they gave us some medicine to help the diarrhea. And then they sent us home on Friday night. So he came home with two antibiotics and we have to follow up with the Liver doc in 2 weeks.
There is never a dull moment with Isaiah. I was just freaking out about the fact that we could get his OT and ST(previous post) on the same day which means I have to take him to Sandy 2 mornings a week instead of one. And then this happens. Like I said before he hadn't been in the hospital for 2 yrs until this week. Having Isaiah with all his special needs is defiantly a test of my patience and faith. Dwayne gave Isaiah a fathers blessing right before we left for the hospital which is why I think he did so well this time. And I know Heavenly Father was blessing me because I don't know how I made it on so little sleep.
While we were in the hospital Dwayne took over the house. He was so good with Sariah and Micah. And our wonderful neighbors brought in dinner and helped Dwayne when he had to go to class. My mom also came over in the midst of catering my Aunts wedding to help out when needed. We are so grateful to all who stepped in to help!! Thank you form the bottom of our hearts! So now Isaiah is home and doing better. And this is just another bump in the road that we got over with Isaiah. Every day with him is a new challenge but I know I was picked to be his mom and I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm so glad he's my son!! I'm sorry for the long post but I figure this way everyone will know what happened and I won't have to tell it over and over again. Thanks to everyone's prayers I know they helped!!
