URGENT BABY KALEB

I have some sad and bad news. Kaleb has been re-admitted into the
hospital into PICU again. He has been more rigid the last 2 days and
very agitated. Yesterday AM I was laying on the couch with Kaleb on
my chest and I thought wow, he feels warm. We didn't have a nurse
yesterday (we seem to not have one more than we do), she left at 7
am. So I took his temp. The thermometer that we have is a ear one and
it said 97.2. There was NO WAY he was 97.2 so i got out different
thermometer and took a rectal temp and it said 99.9. So I decided to
trend the temp and take it every 5 minutes and in 30 minutes it got
up to 101.00. He then started to make a really weird noise and act
like he was about to have a seizure. So the ambulance came and took
him emergency to the hospital.We sat down in the ER from 9-7:30pm.
They ruled out RSV, Influenza, any airborne illness. Everything was
ruled out and he looked fine. But then they had to do a Head Tap and
draw some CSF from his shunt. That test came back a bit cloudy and
there is a high chance that he has Meningitis again. The hospital
also says that the way he is posturing is a type of seizure.They have
to culture the CSF to see if anything grows. If he does have
meningitis, they are going to take Kaleb into surgery either today or
tomorrow and remove the shunt. Then they will put a external drain
back in his brain and start an antibiotics series again and then go
back into surgery and put the shunt back in.
I am extremely sad. I cried all day in the ER. Josh was at work so my
mom and dad and Diane were with me, Thank God. How much can his poor
body take? He was doing SO WELL a couple days ago! My heart just
aches right now. I want him back home. I loved having him home.
Please I pray for us. I feel weak right now and need to feel God's
presence. Please pray for Kaleb.
Kaleb's mommy
