More prayers needed

[Catty1]

prayers! I hope the docs will ask about her lifestyle...and you and dad may need to fill them in since she is still living at your house.

I hope she is better soon!

[Karen]

Prayers on the way, that it is something fixable, and she'll feel better in a few days.

[Freedom]

Prayers from RI for you, her, and the whole family.

Kim, I'm so sorry to hear this. Hopefully the doctors will be able to find out what's wrong with her. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent her way.

[Daisy and Delilah]

Thoughts and prayers going out, Kim

Prayers on the way. I know how scary it is to be in the hospital and not have any answers. *hugs*

[Sevaede]

*HUGS* GREAT vibes your way!

[catnapper]

Thanks guys (((hugs))))

I just got back from the hospital. We still have no idea what's happening, other than a lung infection and racing pulse. Her BP is back to normal and she looks MUCH better this afternoon. She'll most likely be discharged tonight (goodness knows they can't keep her for more than 24 hours! )

They're thinking it might be a serious asthma attack, but its boggling their mind because she never once showed any signs of asthma in the past, and to have an asthma attack this bad, you'd most certainly have noticed something.

She's on nebulizer treatments, which amazed Cam to no end. He was fascinated by the smoky mask on mommy's face I left because a 1 year old and hospital do not mix. Hubby's still there.

Dear God,

I know there is a message in this incident, as well as a lesson to be learned. We may never know what or why, and that's okay. But please, take care of Ashley, watch over this wonderful family, help them through this most difficult time and make them all stronger. Most of all God, strengthen the bond between them and help them love each other and come together as a family.

Amen


Kim,

You have my number. Call me anytime. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

(((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))

Oh dear poor you, sending you lots of well wishes, positive vibes and good thoughts for Ashley to make a good recovery and be home as soon as possible, take care and keep us posted.

[Daisy and Delilah]

Kim, have they checked for internal bleeding(ulcer)? It sounds like the symptoms I had years ago with that. Maybe mono?

[jenluckenbach]

Any more updates?? It is horrible to be sick AND not know why!!!!

Prayers on the way. Keep us posted.

I hope if she has ever smoked anything, she'll stop now. Lungs are too precious to pollute. Warn her that, if they put her on prednisone, as soon as she can breathe well, she'll have the hungry horrors! At least that always happens with me - pink cheeks (butterfly rash) and feeling starving hungry!

She's home! Her heart still is racing, but its closer to normal. She was up to 140-150 beats per minute, double what someone her age should have!

They still have no idea what happened, why or how. They do believe lack of sleep and caffeine played a part. My youngest poured all the remaining Red Bull down the kitchen sink this morning

She was sent home with lots of prescriptions... one of which insurance doesn't cover and its over $200! We left the pharmacy without it and called the insurance company and hospital to see if they can get her an alternative within a reasonable price. She is on strict bed rest with little exercise as day (in other words, she's supposed to walk a little more each day) and can't return to work or school for a week. She also goes for more blood tests on Monday.

Cam was very happy to see his mommy again and has been so sweet. Somehow he understands she's delicate now and he can't be bashing around her like he typically does.

Just got off the phone with hubby.... they're keeping her another night. They are still very concerned about her heart rate. And as you all know how the hospital system works, they don't keep someone for another night unless absolutely necessary.

As best as they an figure, it was an asthma attack mixed with an allergic reaction to something. What was she allergic to, we don't know because she didn't encounter anything different

They also mentioned her lack of sleep and affection for Red Bull and coffee didn't help matters any. I commented to them about Red Bull months ago, about how its not good (I think I even posed the question here) and everyone just ignored me I have the feeling Red Bull will from hence forth be banned from this home.
