We finally got to see a rheumatologist today! I didnt sleep hardly at all last night because I was so anxious to hear what the dr would have to say. I was happy that Bekah had no fever all day yesterday and 2 full nights of sleep with no pain, but worried we would see the dr and then go home for it all to only return again. Because of her feeling better again it left the dr up in the air. He feels it still may be viral, but could be juvenille arthritis. So if the fever and pain come back he gave us orders for more blood work and a chest xray. I hope and pray the pain does not return as it is so hard to see her in so much pain. The fever however was back this evening so we will see what happens tonight.
Caleb had his surgery yesterday to remove his adnoids. He had a very hard time waking from surgery. Usually they get to go home one hour after surgery but we had to stay almost 3 because he refused to drink anything, threw up a lot of phlem, and screamed non stop when he was not asleep. But after 3 hrs he decided a drink wouldnt be so bad so we went home right away! After getting home we gave him some ibuprofen he ate a huge lunch and took a small bottle of milk, slept one hour and woke up like nothing ever happened. We give him ibuprofen every 6 hrs and I forget he even had surgery yesterday. Last night he woke only once on a single dose of ibuprofen! That is better than he has slept in weeks! The Dr did confirm after surgery that he followed suit of his sisters and had very large adnoids. Yeah! That means more than likely we found the true culprit from not sleeping all night since 8 months old! So glad it is over and now we begin praying that his tonsils dont grow and cause sleep apnea again like Bekah's did. Owell we will cross that bridge when and if it comes. We are hoping to cancel the sleep study for next month but will make sure the surgery did indeed fix our little man!
