Infectious Disease Specialist
Monday, March 10, 2008 at 02:58PM Sorry I've gone MIA on you. I pretty much slept away the weekend in a cold medicine induced fog. I woke up this morning and finally felt human again. There's some serious shitz going around these parts.
Enough about me...
SO, BamBam is doing OK. His fevers haven't returned, however, he is having horrible night sweats. His little hands and feet are also freezing cold at times...something is going on still.
He doesn't have pneumonia or bronchitis, no strep, no flu A or B, no mono, no CMV, no bacteria in his blood, pretty sure he doesn't have appendicitis. His CBC is fairly normal, a few things slightly off, but nothing crazy.
Enough about what he doesn't have. What do we know?
His sed rate is a little high. He has swollen lymph nodes around his appendix. He's pretty tired and pale at times with horrible night sweats. His appetite is improving.
Our doctors? They're stumped and concerned. We're being referred to an Infectious Disease Specialist.
To keep everything in perspective...he's doing OK, really. My friend's beautiful baby...the one I mentioned here...she has a hole in poor little heart. They're finding out today just how bad it is. She's so tiny and sweet and I got to hold her again last night...and, yes, my ovaries were glowing.
If you're looking for a laugh, I'd love to have the energy to tell you about the blackmail church visit my husband and Princess had this weekend, but I think I've lost my funny. Last saw it in Aruba...might need to go back to retrieve it. I'll try to muster up the energy soon.
Any good thoughts/positive energy/prayers you can send this way would be greatly appreciated...and returned when you need it.

*Good thoughts. Good thoughts. Thinking hard. Staring at a US map, at NH, good thoughts. Good thoughts.*
Keep us posted, take a hot, hot bath, and put a picture of Aruba on the corner of that tub.
Zipping and sending you a whole mess of good vibes, thoughts, wishes and smiles. I just got caught up with the BamBam saga and I'm happy that his temp is down. That is always scary. I hope they figure out what's ailing the little guy so you can get on with kicking this thing's ass.
