I got up and checked on Rylan, he was just laying in bed grunting a lot. I felt him and he was extremely warm. I grabbed the nurse and BAM! 103 degree fever. That began the morning.
After the motrin kicked in Rylan was finally comfortable enough to rest. With the help of a cool washcloth and ice packs.
Well I am gonna make this short......between the hospital doctors, his pediatrician, and pulmonologist we have 3 different things going on.
Scenario 1 : The hospital Doctors
Yes we know appendicitis was a MAJOR concern, but after the cat scan results came back they noticed he had some stuff going on in the bottom of his lungs. SO they though pneumonia and began to treat as such.
Scenario 2 : The pediatrician
When she arrived she was totally on board with the entire pneumonia, but then she tells me that Rylan has 0 bowl sounds and he just ate. So she didn't want to put it past him that he has a blockage in his intestines. So the plan was to skip his next feeding and see how he sounds right before the one after that. If there were STILL no bowl sounds surgery would be called. Of course this made my heart sink as if he had pneumonia and had to go under anesthesia this was not going to be a good outcome.
Scenario 3: The pulmonologist
He believed there was NO pneumonia but atelectasis. Now they are leaning on that.
Well here we are thinking that we had somewhat of a game plan. When I went to go give him his meds at 12:00, I opened up his tube and Rylan let out a giggle followed by vomit. Sooooooo now we are back to stomach issues.
So here we are Rylan has an IV going and isn't allowed to eat, they say his lungs sound good. They think it might be viral.....even though the antibiotics have helped allowed. Still hasn't broke his fever.
This momma is TIRED
