Matthew

Well last week, our little Matt was really sick. On Easter Sunday he went to the ER and they said, he had an ear infection and a sore throat, his fever was 13.2. Gave us meds and sent us home. By Tuesday, he wasn't getting any better took him to one of the Doc at Eagan Valley and they said the same thing. By Thursday afternoon he was so bad, that Thomas and I ended up taking him to our Doctor and he took one look at Matt and ordered blood tests and a chest x-ray. Blood test came back normal, his x-ray showed a little stricking in the lungs but not too bad but he's temp was 103.7 and the Doc said to check with the Ped Doc but he recommended that they check him out at children's. Our Ped Doc, said the same thing, so off to Children's Hospital in St. Paul. He was so out of it by the time we got to the hospital, he didn't even cry when they put his IV in. Within 24 hours of having the IV, he was already better. They ran every test known to man (I can results back later today) and as of right now we know of 2 things; he has really bad acid reflux and was put on meds for that and Tom and I already can't believe what a difference this one little pill made!! Then the Pulmonary Doctor told us to win the lottery, buy a new house, get rid of our animals and get a nanny in order to keep Matthew health because he now has allergies. So, since we haven't won the lottery here is what we have done!! Air purifier in his room, no animals in his room, the house has to be vacuumed every day and try to keep things as clean as possible. When he's starts any kind of wheezing, give his a treatment right away. So, that's where we sit right now!!
But, he's home and he's healthy for the moments. So, that's great!!
