Troy Update

I am going to make this quick because I am swyping this post from my phone.? Troy may come home tomorrow if fever stays down and cultures come back okay during the night.? So far there are two theories.? He may have a cold virus though he did not test positive for the major ones or he may have aspirated due to his reflux issues as aspiration can cause his symptoms well.? We are going to have a modified barium swallow study done as well as an upper g to rule out pieloric stenosis.? They wanted to do these tests today but I declined and will bring him back out patient this week because I do not want my child in this germ infested environment for a moment more than he has to be. This hospital is full and this morning they moved a child with pneumonia into his room.? you can imagine what I had to say about that.? I basically told them that if they could not find an immediate solution that I needed to be discharged immediately because the heck if I was going to have my premature baby exposed to that.? To their credit, they had me fully moved in ten minutes.? I do of course realize that hospitals do not always have a lot of options but as a rather ferocious mama their decision was completely unacceptable to me and it was simply not going to fly.? More and more I realize how critical it is for sick children to have a parent advocate. My heart breaks for those parents who do not have the option of being in the hospital though they want to.? This is such a sad sad place.? In case I forget later, troys urine analysis was fine, swab test fine, blood test fine, chest xray fine.? They attempted a lumbar puncture twice but did not get spinal fluid.? That was not fun for troy or daddy and mommy in the room with him.? Here are Couple of snaps from my phone. I don’t want to proof this so forgive my typos please.? thanks for praying for my little darling.

  1. Can I just say that even in the hospital HE IS BEAUTIFUL!!! We are all praying God’s merciful protection and we are so thankful for good test results so far! (Even though it hasn’t been fun for Troy! So glad he won’t remember this!) Love you as always 🙂

  2. Thank the Lord that all those tests are good. Hoping everything else is good too. I give you credit to stand your ground with the hospitals. Here you would have no choice. Take what you get kinda health care. It can be so frustrating. Praying and hoping everything goes well and you can tak eyour precious boy home. Take Care of yourself too. Sending love & Hugs too 🙂

  3. I hope you are coming home today. So glad the results are good so far. Hard to believe they’d put somone with pneumonia in his room!! It makes me thankful that my hospital experiences here have all been private rooms even when Devin was there.

    Love and hugs to you all.

  4. I am so glad to hear he is doing well, I have been worried about him. And if I haven’t told you lately, you are one great mom!
