NWR: Could use a hug (potential sadness - you've been warned)

Hey everyone! I'm sorry I haven't been around much lately.  I've been reading, but just haven't been responding.  We're having some health problems with our 5 year old dd.  The docs initially didn't believe me because she's the type of kid who doesn't act sick, even if she's sick as a dog.  I kept begging them to help her, but they would take 1 look at her and say that she was fine.  I can't even recall how many people turned their backs on us this week, but it was pretty disheartening.

I had to get pretty nasty after 4 days of being blown off and they FINALLY started running tests.  Turns out she has a pretty serious infection in her gut somewhere, and the meds she has to take are making her very sick and lethargic.  As a mom, it's hard to sit and watch that - especially when she starts asking if she's going to die.  Tonight, it's all just starting to hit me and it's a pretty rough night for me.  If you have any warm fuzzies to spare, I could surely use them. 

Mamas (and future Mamas) don't EVER take no for an answer when your gut instinct is telling you to keep going.  While I wouldn't wish this on anyone, I am glad we have at least part of the answer and can start working on bringing her back to her old self.

  • Sending good vibes your DD's way. I hope she feels better soon. Once you get a diagnosis for her it will be much easier to advocate for her. I completely relate to having doctors not listen, it took me over a year to get a label on my thyroid issues but it got so much easier from there.

  • Thanks, everyone!  We had a rough weekend and ended up diriving downtown to the Children's hospital ER.  They were amazing and got us an appointment with a specialist for TOMORROW!  I was expecting to wait at least a month, if not more.  Dd starts kindergarten a week from tomorrow so I'm crossing my fingers that we get all this taken care of and she gets to start on time.  Thanks agian for all the prayers and warm fuzzies!

  • Good for you for being persistent.  You are the one who knows your daughter the best and your gut told you something was wrong.  My family will always regret not pushing my dad's doctors when we knew something was wrong.  It was ultimately too late once they finally listened to us.  You're a great mom and she's lucky to have you!

  • Thank you, everyone.  The appointment went really well.  Unfortunately, shortie has to be put under sedation in a little less than 2 weeks for some tests, and I'm not too excited about it.  I know it's necessary, but that doesn't make it any easier to digest.  But I really do appreciate all the good wishes - you ladies are the best!

  • Thanks again, everyone!  Tomorrow (Friday) we start a 4 day prep for her procedures on Tuesday.  She's being sedated and having an upper GI as well as a colonoscopy.  This prep is HORRIBLE and having to deny her food all day Monday is going to absolutely break my heart.  I will update you all on Tuesday or Wednesday once we're home. 

    Thank you again for all the hugs and good wishes.  They really do help!
