This is such a difficult time. I'm still clinging to the thought that Bengi will somehow find his way back to his family. {{{Hugs}}} |
Oh, how horrible. Danny's case was very rare the doctors told us and they just couldn't get his temp down that night we rushed him into the nearest hospital who had him transported to Childrens Medical Center. I prayed he would make it to the E.R. in that ambulance. Of course until testing was done and time passed, the docs didn't know what was wrong with him. They gave him ice baths, IV's, so many meds for support, fever reduction, etc., and often he would awaken through the night and just rage out of his head until they sedated him. The docs were fearing brain or cord infection and it was so scary Jimmy and I just sat and held onto each little hand and prayed and prayed. He was IH 10 days and a shell of himself when we brought him home. It was awful and started as a cold. Every cold he had after that was terrifying for a while!
Were you there in the room when yours stopped breathing? I can't imagine the terror if you were! I imagine that aged you a good 5 years per child! Kids are so fragile when gravely ill.
Ellie81 is in a terrible situation and I pray that her baby gets well and Bengi can come home very soon. I was reading a story on Home Again website today about a dog gone for weeks and then being found.
