Re: Weird skin stuff and blood test

[Guest guest]

I don't think antibiotics will cover anything on Ashton...Since we started doing

the clindimycin roll on almost a week ago she is WORSE on the outside of her

skin.. The the abcess under her arm is EXPLODING...makes me wanna pop it with a

safety pin like my gramma used to do to the blisters on her feet lol....... She

is in sooooo much pain... Hemorroids with the two abcess on buttcrack/cheeks...

So farrrrrrrr I don't see any improvement since we went to the socalled

specialist.... My crazy aunt suggested putting " horse salve " on her.. she swears

it works wonders on the skin and they used it on the work horses when she was

growing up and she used it on her self.. She is diabetic and has lots of

wounds....... I might actually try it, what would it hurt?

 

Who was asking about the RASH around mouth........we used to put prep. H yes the

hemmorid cream on Ashton's face and I used it on acne...stuff actually

works...... least for us........I AM NOT A DOCTOR...LOL

 

Margaret,

I am soooooo sorry to hear about Gareth.... ugggg if I had to be on house arrest

with /Ash we would be sleeping in a car cuz I gotta work....... when I get

frustrated and pissed at the world I just imagine how much pain ash is in and

Gareth.... bless them..... life is not fair that is for sure...... Can he get

into a whirlpool? or hot tub?? the doctor told me the more chlorine the kids is

around the better...... I asked if i was supposed to bath her in bleach.....one

of the grannie nurses I know says she baths in a capful of bleach a week to

cleanse her skin......AGAIN i AM NOT A DOC...

 

okay off my soapbox..... going to roll on the antibiotic and watch out for her

flying feet......she hates it on her legs............

Ooh, I'm so sorry to hear that. 's cellulitis cleared on antibiotics. He's

had it before several times. Gareth is having way too many issues. I've been

through all that when had leukemia. Fortunately, he seems to be recovering

from his adventures other than persistent fatigue.

No, I don't think has ever had vitamin D checked, though he has had a slew

of bloodwork in his almost 9 years. Praying Gareth is healing and doing better

soon!

<<cellulitis >>

Hi, Everyone.... Beth...well, that is 3 of our kids fighting

cellulitis.. ...Gareth, , and . Ashton has something weird and

infectious, too. I had

never known anyone with it till G got it a month ago. Now, the first has

reopened and the one on his leg has healed. No one tested him for that SARS, but

I think that is what it is. Doc won't say " yes or no. " I was told the

first couldn't be cultured because he was on antibiotics. He's still got that

open wound from July, too.

Well, Gareth and I made the two hr trip to Hershey Med today, in the pouring

rain, for his open wound....un healing pilonidal cyst surgery. He was

hurting so bad, when we left, that he tried to lay in the van on his side. That

lasted 20 minutes till he brought up breakfast... ..car sick. Had to pull over

and clean that up.....fun, fun!!! So he sat up and looked straight ahead

the rest of the trip......shifting and wiggling in pain. The doc decided to

give him '30 days of house arrest' (Mom's description) with only laying or

standing. If the open wound isn't healed by Jan 7th, he will go back and re

excise the wound and we will start all over again. On Fri, he has to have a CT

of the pelvis to see if he has an underlying abscess that could be causing the

pain. He sure isn't getting too much out of school this fall. Tomorrow, he

goes to see the gastro doc.....hopefully, he will let him slide on the

endoscopy since his switch to Prilosec seems to be working. His rheumie doc did

loads of blood work and his IgA is really high....probably another ulcer. His

Vit D is low......any other kids have their Vit D levels checked? Seems to

be the 'in test' lately.

Take care, Everyone.

Margaret

Margaret,

My thoughts are with Gareth as I know what it feels like to have a big

hole where there shouldn't be one. After being diagnosed with Advanced

Lymes in 2005 I had to have a similar procedure done on a deep lesion

that was going into the back of my calf..into the muscle. The first

episode didn't close it but was very painful...then they used Silverdine

to close it and that really burned bad. I still get lesions and have

one on my big toe right now - not fun at all. Both my son and I have a

positive Lyme Titer and Western Blot, his was caught right away and

after the antibiotic treatment for 90 days his Titer has gone down to

only a +1. I cant even Imagine what Gareth must be going through

because that was very painful for me and I normally can handle alot of

pain. Lymes is the 'great pretender' and it likes to come back and do

all kinds of things now and then. I constantly have to go on and off

antibiotics to stop it when it decides to break out. I sure hope that

Gareth is feeling better soon and pray that the Only True Healer will

breathe upon him and heal him. I pray for ashton too for she needs the

Great Comforter to be with her..the same goes for and ..may

they all be touched by our Lord and be healed from head to toe. And for

you mothers - you are a Godsend to these children, he only gave you what

you could handle and it seems as if you are handling it well. I just

continue to do the 'Concerned Dad Thing' regardless of whats breaking

out or growing on me but it really touches my heart to see the

dedication of you mothers.

I know it must be hard to see your child hurt. Yesterday was the first

time I've ever really 'freaked out' .. I ended up with a prescription of

Valium, my Doc was afraid of a breakthrough seizure because I was and

still am pretty p'o'd at his district. I take other front line non

narcotic seizure meds but I think after talking to him he decided things

weren't processing right so he called me back and told me he called in

that prescription. I don't like to take meds like that because they

are so addictive, I used to be on so many meds it would choke a horse.

I quit them myself cold turkey a few years back - so I'll use that

valium very sparingly. Again, my hat is off to you mothers..all of you

on this list.

You have created a warm and friendly environment that actually soothes

me to visit. And to the other Dad's .. stick in there !

May the blessings of God and his favour be upon our children and their

parents,

E.

Leah,Your Aunts not crazy. Yes the old Dr.'s used to suggest horse

salve.My uncle had a wound that would not heal and this old Dr. put

it on his leg that was injuried in a car accident and his leg

healed.What about soaking in epsom salt to draw the infection out?

That helps to pull out infection? I took to a wound care

specialist who did absolutely nothing, a Dermatologist that tried,

and the only one that got healed was a Defeat Autism Now Doc. We

did 40 hyperbaric oxygen Therapies to heal horrible cellulitis

of the head.I feel so sorry for Ashton having these sores. Ouch.
