Entry: Sick Kid Tuesday, December 19, 2006



Just a quick note to all of you.  I had a sick kid, we're talking two seven-hour nights in the E.R. sick, and haven't been near the computer in a couple of days.  She had neck pain that shot into her head and down her back and later on through her limbs and she was given dozens of blood tests a CAT Scan and even a Spinal Tap.  Nothing.  "Must be something viral."  When they had her hooked to Morphine and other stuff she was fine, but the first night they sent her home with Vicodin and that didn't even touch it.  Next night they gave her something a little stronger and by now her real doctor had been contacted and she got some stronger stuff to take home.  Went to the Doc, they had done every test she could think of and a few she hadn't and nada.  So she is home with a couple of different prescriptions and we have still had to work and so, as I have mentioned a time or two before, the computer loses.  I will keep you posted, but she is determined to go to this thing in Texas no matter what.

Oh my goodness. I'm praying for her. Sounds neurological ... not just the sensations and locations, but the response to the two opiates.

Wow, scary, Herb. I sure do hope it's "something viral" and it just clears out and doesn't return. I guess it's good that they ruled out things, but I know it can be frustrating to not have answers. My prayers are with you.

Herb what you are describing as symptoms was very similar to Davemans daughter just before he dissapeared - have they checked her for a stroke or heart attack? when one is so young, most docs dont think of those factors -

prayers go out to your daughter and you & family }}}HUGS{{{
