Update.2.11.2010From Aunt Kim, One Step Ahead and Two Steps Back.  Today is ML and Beth's anniversary and Gage had a follow up chest x ray today that showed persistent pneumonia in that right lung. Well, alright. Beth and I have been going back and forth about meds this week due to the changes-side effects etc....and Gage had developed a cough but he is on some new nebulizer medications. Anyway Papa and Beth are in Greenville waiting to see the Pediatrician we like and see what she wants to do.  Beth called me and we have some back up plans for Home Health IVs and Home Health Respiratory Therapy and etc if they will let us if they do not decide to admit him or send him home with another round of by mouth antibiotics. Evidently, we have to be a little more aggressive this time.  So I am waiting for a call, and praying that all is well and Papa has instructions.  He actually is worse than I am about gage if you can believe that.  It is times like these where I sit here waiting on a phone call, and I again thank the good Lord for all the blessings he has given me.  God bless the Little Children, and their parents. Guard them and keep them safe. Thurs.1004am...they sent him home with pneumonia diagnosis, no antibiotics, to stay on nebulizers and "watch him'.  OK?  His x ray at eastern radiology by radiologist "persistent pneumonia" on right side with aspiration. As a nurse I try, believe me, I try, to understand the treatment plan we have for Gage. I understand that to give him antibiotics every time he sniffles may create a problem with him sensitivity in the future to other organisms, but he has pneumonia by x ray. Beth was sent how with a treatment plan- to rub vicks on his chest but not too much;  and to come back immediately when the secretions turn colors. Gage is already coughing, and when the MD walked in she commented that his upper airway noisiness sounded uncomfortable, but no antihistamine/etc....It just gets a little frustrating.  When Beth told her about his overweight issue-she laughed ; and made no comment on the diet changes the Pulmonolgist made on the formula. She is the Pediatrician-and by definition she is the Captain of the ship Gage is on.  I can tell you there is getting ready to be a mutiny and the Captain is going for a swim.  Aunt Kim's little sugar plum is hanging on, but don't worry the Lord is in Control and I have become complacent in this recently. He will deal with us and me. Holding on.....Aunt Kim...
