scope

Kase will have a scope on Wednesday morning at 9:30 at Hendrick. The are some risk. (although rare) Pray that Kase will be safe and that there is an object that can be removed on the spot.

Still No Solution

The results from the X-ray last night did not show anything. They are going to do another X-ray tonight at a different time and hope for another result. If that X-ray is still negative I think the next step is to scope his stomach. They would be looking for some swallowed obect that doesn't belong, or a stomach irritation of some kind. So that's what are next few days look like. For now we are settled in for a stay. Dr. Sudde wrote orders for us so that we could go outside today. Kase was so happy. He is getting so tired of this room. He's taken to yelling at the door if it's left open because he wants to go out. The IV has a short battery time, so it was a short little trip, but emotionaly very good for Kase. It was warm and the breeze was so nice. Everyone said it's so windy, but we just loved it. Being told he had to come back inside was not so pleasent, but I think now that we back up and he over he feels a little relieve from his cabin fever.

Update

I'm really tired so I hope this at least makes a little sense. The specialist came to see Kase late this evening. He think Kase may have swallowed somthing he shouldn't. It's common that it not show up on the x-ray. Tonight he took another x-ray after kase threw up, to see if he could see something. If not they would use a scope to look.. At this point I have no idea about removal or if this is even what this is. If it's not that a cat scan may be the next step. Thank you so much for your prayers. Please keep them coming.

A night in the hospital.

This morning Kase was admitted to the hospital to be hydrated with IV fluids and have blood work done. The blood work came back with a high platlet levels. It could be the sign of an inflamation in his intestine. We really still do not know what's wrong with Kase and are just still waiting. We will speak to the doctor somtime tomorrow morning. Thanks so much for everyone that is praying. We are so blessed to have such a good group of christian friends.

Waiting for the phone to ring.

Why is it that when you are waiting for the phone to ring it never rings? First thing this morning I took Kase to get an X-ray of his abdomen. That was about 8:30. I spent the rest of the day waiting for the phone to ring with the results of that 20 minute test. ( It probably would have taken 5 min. but Kase just wasn't into it) Kase is really feeling bad today; making the wait that much longer. At about 5:15 the Doctor's office finally called with basically no information. The X-ray was clear and we need to come back in the morning probably for lab work. We have a wonderful doctor, but I guess when you have a little one in pain the "system is just frustrating." Why is it that "someone" out there know the x-ray is clear at probably 10:00 in the morning and I can't get the knews until dinner time. Thanks for the prayers.

X-rays for Kase?

Kase has been having tummy trouble this week along with some other symptoms. We took Kase to the Doctor this afternoon, and he gave us some medicine. He told us that if he wasn't better by morning he would need an x-ray. He feels pretty sure that it is not a virus. One possibility is an obstruction. Please pray that everything with Kase is Ok.

Here we go...

After developing a complete addiction to my friends blogs, I have decided to start my own. Mostly I plan to share with my family and friends about my children. I have three children Ally (7), Samantha (almost 5), and Kase (1). So here it goes. A few weeks ago Samantha was in Bible class listening to a bible story. While sitting there she took her shoes off. The teacher got ready to move to another part of the room and ask her to put her shoes back on. She told her that she was practicing for "Holy Ground."
