Tuesday Night
Well Tuesday night finds us having a happy "5" being home around the dinner table and eating and talking. After dinner, B announces his heart hurt him. Now this is the child that A) has subaortic stenosis ( a small narrowing of the blood vessel that leads into the aortic valve.) and B) as a younger boy, his ear would get red, he would rub and rub on it, and I would take him to his pediatrician, to which she would exclaim, IS he NOT JUST screaming in pain, his ear drum is about to burst?!!! I said no, he showed no signs of pain, just red and seemed to be itchy ear.
So when this child approaches me to tell me his heart hurt, not once but twice during dinner, and after dinner, I get VERY CONCERNED!
So I call Ask-a-Nurse. They said you can either go to the ER or Call 9-1-1. Well I did indeed call 9-1-1 at the advice of my dh. Guess what. They come and announce as they walk in they are ready to transport. Transport? What do you mean transport? Well they advise me they do not have the necessary equipment to tell me if he is having an actual heart problem, and especially aortic stenosis problem. Ok....they put leads on him and see that his heart is beating ok, but again tell me if I decide to take him to the ER by my own vehicle that he could possibly die in transport......etc....etc.....etc. We had to sign papers saying we had declined "services" and then I loaded up in our van and went to the local hospital.
There I am informed that aortic stenosis will never cause pain to the child. So is this to say if the "narrowing" on his aortic valve gets any "tighter" I may never know till he wakes up dead????????? OK....well this "new" news, really helped MY HEART!
OK....back to the ER visit. I love dr's and medical staff....LOL...they are so "candid".
So, they take him down to x-ray and he gets 2 chest x-rays, and later in our "room" he gets a heart monitor all set up on him and she listens to his heart.
Then the Dr comes back in. Says B has Splenic-flexure syndrome that is comparable to Irritable Bowel Syndrome. I tried to call his dr today and let her know, and see if she wants to schedule a gastro dr visit or wait it out.
Dr said he found the reason his heart was hurting, or the reason B thought it was his heart. His colon was filled with air and enlarged a bit, and was pushing against his diaphram.
Did I mention that there is never a dull moment at my house.
Then today, since we were at ER from 10:30 till 2:30 when I drove in the drive. B did not settle right down and go to sleep, but the twins woke him around 10 and I was dead to the world as well, so I got up, made French Toast for breakfast and then by noon, we were all down again. I don't think B slept much this afternoon, but I sure did. Then we got up and started getting ready for church tonight. (This is thursday a.m. but since I have not gone to bed officially, it is still Wed night to me....LOL) So I went to pick up a friend, went out the front door, and Jeckle was sort of running to the car, and fell, and rolled a couple of times. Freckle said they hit heads and that is why Jeckle fell. I did not see it happen, but B was going to save the day, so he took off running, and guess what.....YES! He fell onto the ground. I really thought he broke his arm as he came up "holding" his arm. By second glance, I saw blood, and he got by with just a scrape on his elbow, and Jeckle only got two scratches. Praise the Lord!
Well and I forgot my main problem today. I had gone into the kitchen to get a 2nd glass of milk for Jeckle this a.m. with our French Toast, and managed to get some sort of thorn/sticker in my foot, and I could not manage to put any weight on it, and everytime I tried to pick it out, seemed I could not find it. So after church (yes ALMOST 12 hours later) I had Mike help me fish the splinter out. It hurt so bad. But finally all is well at Soldiers of the Cross School for boys. LOL
Well my little blog buddies, I hope you all see that just daily praying for this household will sure be put to good use. LOL
Hope this finds all of my friends well.
More later
I am sure......we are never bored here at SotCSfb. (Soldiers of the Cross School for boys)
over and out!
