Sorry I didn't post this sooner but I did take Jacob to Morgantown on Friday to get a kidney ultra sound and to see a kidney specialist. They said that his anemia is not caused from his kidneys or bladder which is very good except now back to square one on finding the problem. His Ultra sound showed his left kidney is swollen and the doctor said that it is probably from a back flow problem but there is nothing they will do about it at this time because most kids with this problem will out grow it as they get older and he also said that he is having traces of blood in his urine and a moderate amount one time showed up. They are not sure why he is losing blood though his kidneys but since it's not every single time they check his urine he said he is not worried about it. He did do some more blood work on him and said he would call me with the results this week. He also said unless he finds something major in this blood work which he doesn't seem to think he will then we don't have to go back to him unless something else shows up later. I was not at all impressed with this doctor and I will not take my child back to him. We still have no idea why he is losing blood in his urine. I understand it's only sometimes but he is 22 months old today and he has had 7 urine tests and 5 out of 7 had some blood in them. I also understand that all but one were just traces and he said it's not enough of a blood lose to make him anemic but I sure would like to know why he is losing this blood. So now we wait again to see his endocrinologist on April 9 to see where we go from here. Well, tell next time please keep him in your prayers and hopefully soon they will figure this out and we can get him all better.
Jacob went to the doctor today and his pneumonia is all gone thank goodness. He is still all stopped up and has a lot of drainage and is still pretty fussy but the good thing is he is getting better. Jeremy is doing well so far so good at school today. Mackenzie is finally over her ear infection so that just leaves me and Scott but we are starting to get better. Hopefully all the sickness will be over soon around here. Please remember Jacob in your prayers tomorrow he is suppose to go to Morgantown to a pediatric kidney specialist and have a kidney ultra sound done that is if I can get my car started because when I went out to take Jeremy to school it wouldn't start so he had to ride with the neighbor today. I am so blessed with great neighbors around here they would do anything for us. Well, that all the news for know and I will update the Blog tomorrow evening if we get to go to Morgantown.
Today is a sick day at home still. I am still sick, Jeremy is still sick but thank goodness the other two are getting much better. I am taking Jacob back to the doctor tomorrow to make sure his pneumonia is going away. Friday I have to take him to get an ultrasound of his Kidney's and see s kidney specialist. I am sure most of you by now know that he has been sick quite a bit since he was born. Jacob is anemic and they can't find out why so they checked his liver and that was fine and now they are checking his kidneys. We have him on 2 types of iron medicine and it brings his iron up some but not all the way where it should be. So Please keep Jacob in your prayers tomorrow and Friday that we get good reports. I also take him back to his endocrinologist on April 9 for a check up and talk about the Osteogenisis Improfecti they think he has. It is a disease that makes you stay small and makes your bones break easy (my dad has this). Well, I will keep you all updated on all this stuff he is going though once we see the doctors.
Today is Monday, March 23 and everyone has been sick in are house. Last Monday Mackenzie started running a fever and had a runny nose and watering eyes so I took her to the doctor and they said she had a virus and sent us home. On Tuesday night she screamed all night with her ear and said she couldn't hear out of it so back to the doctor we went on Wednesday morning. She now has a bad ear infection. Also while I was at the doctor Jeremy's school called and they said Jeremy had a seizure and and looked bad and said he wasn't feeling go. So off I went to pick him up. Once I got him home he said his throat was hurting so I took him to the doctor Wednesday afternoon. He has strep throat. I told the doctor that every time he gets strep throat he has a seizure and so he went back and looked and he had been having seizures each time he got strep throat and he said he has had strep throat 4 times and tonsillitis 2 times since the beginning of the year and I said yeah shouldn't we do something about this. So now we have an appointment on April 9 for him to see and ENT to see about getting his tonsils out. He he was off from school Thursday and Friday. Then on Friday Jacob woke up from a nap with a 104.3 temp and not moving so I took him to the doctor and he has pneumonia and he is now on an antibiotic. Kenzie is getting better but still a little fussy. Jeremy finished his medicine and has had no fever last night or today so he went back to school today and all went well. Jacob still has a bad cough and a low grade fever on and off so we go Thursday to the doctor again for a recheck to make sure he is getting better. And of course you would know that Scott and I have gotten it so we both feel horrible. Well that is all for about the sick kids and we will be posting more soon.
