juliegee Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Yikes, Mack came home really sick from school today- high fever, body aches chills, TROUBLE BREATHING, headache, cough. I rushed him to urgent care & his flu test was negative....even the doc didn't believe it. It came from nowhere. He was fine this AM. They put him on prednisone, codeine cough syrup and a Z-pack because of all of his underlying stuff. He's sooo sick- how scary.I am immuno-supressed. IgG at 500, may have to start IVIG soon. Just a matter of time before the Mommy/Nurse is down Send good wishes our way. H1Ni is everywhere here in GA....Julie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juliegee Posted September 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Thank you so much for your healing thoughts and good wishes. Mack is still pretty miserable. His high fever broke after a few days- that's the good part . Today he keeps breaking out in a cold sweat and his breathing is still rough- that's the bad part . Of course, it's a weekend BUT I'm thinking I will take him into an urgent care tomorrow if he's not noticeably better. I just want someone to listen to his lungs... He's still on an antibiotic and steroids, but I'm worried. I hate to think what this will do to his autonomic stuff Mack's flu test came out negative, so we're fairly sure this is not H1N1- even thought the symptoms are the same. The doc called is mycoplasma/walking pneumonia. So far my hubby and I have remained well. I'm so thankful I am able to nurse Mack.Thank you again for your good wishes. they mean so much-Julie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramakentesh Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Half of Melbourne has it - although thankfully in our case it appears relatively benign. gave me a shocking relapse of AS pain though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxine Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Sending health thoughts and prayers. I know getting sick on top of having dysautonomia is rough. Last year was abad year for that, hoping this year is better.Your a good mom-------your on top of things, and I'm sure your son will be fine because of that.HUGS,Maxine :0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
