Guest guest Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Kate, Our children are the most important part of our lives. Remember you need to be their spoke person at all times. Keep up with the doctors in the hospital sometimes you know Charlie better then them. I will keep Charlie in my prayers & pray for a quick recovery.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Dear Kate: So sorry to read that Charlie is so sick. My thoughts and prayers are with both of you. I have been through the same thing since my daughter was born. It is so scary but kids bounce back so much quicker that we do. If he has asthma, and I pray he doesn't, that can be managed also. Medicines, inhalers, and Nebulizers do wonderful, and lessens trips to the E.R. Again, my thoughts and prayers are with both of you. God Bless you both. Hugs, Barbara > > Many prayers being sent your way!!!

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Dear Kate: Dont know you, but feel your anxiety. I KNOW Asthma and pneumonia, them and my kids are old adversaries. All 3 of my kids had asthma, up until today my 24 yo still has it. They used to be very sick from it. Double Pneumonia is hard on the little ones. I know how hard it is with them trying to stick your kid and not being able to hit the vein, or start an IV too. Truth be told the residents even though they are young, do it much more than the attending physcians, so they tend to be better at it. Know your attending physician and learn the hospital administration so you can escalate things if you need too. Know the pediatric pulmonologist and the pediatric allergist, they may be your very dear friends in the future. Remember, you know your child better than anyone, dont let them tell you otherwise!! If you want some advice on the different meds tried over the years, let me know, I have been thru at least thirty (literally) related to asthma... Hope the lil one recovers soon.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Kate, I don't post much, but wanted to assure you that Charlie is in my thoughts and prayers. All three of my kids have asthma. My youngest learned how to monitor her breathing with this little device you blow into, and we could adjust her meds to avoid a really bad flare. Still, she ended up in the doctor's office to get IV steroids about once a year. She hated the needles, don't blame her or Charlie. It's tough for a little one. She' 24 now, and having a really rough time with the smoke from the LA fires. My middle son has what the doctor called " silent asthma " . No wheezing, first sign was usually bronchitis, which twice turned into pneumonia. Scary, very scary. He's now 30, and very healthy. So, if you want to ask questions about meds, or diet (food allergies) or setting up a room for a highly allergic child, or just to vent, I'm here. Dealing with kids with chronic health problems is hard, I can't imagine doing it with RA. I didn't have any symptoms until my kids were grown. Again, you're all in my prayers, South Pasadena, CA / Lilydale, MN You can see my galleries at http://www.pbase.com/arenared986 M. Schulz - " All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt. " On Wed, Aug 26, 2009 at 11:14 PM, Kate Fair<kalfoley@...> wrote: > > > Got him to the hospital. Resting comfortably.
