Kawasaki Nigthmare -Part 2

If you didn't have a chance to read part 1 you can here: http://mylittlecircusandme.blogspot.com/2013/06/kawasaki-disease-nightmare-i-never.html

So I will begin part 2: we made it through the first night in the hospital & Friday morning May 31 he was feeling much better now fever free eating & smiling!  My hope was restored but he still needed his Echo cardiogram & it  had to be 24 hours after finishing the IVIG & fever free for 24-36 hours before they could send him/us home.  Still continuing the Aspirin therapy which is given every 6 hours.

So around lunch time the Cardiologist came in with the tech girl & she was taking pictures of his little heart, seeing my babies heart beating & moving was pretty neat! But I was terrified that something was going to be wrong. See the side affects of Kawasaki are : 

 

Inflammation of the heart muscle (myocarditis)

Heart valve problems (mitral regurgitation)

Abnormal heart rhythm (dysrhythmia)

Inflammation of blood vessels (vasculitis), usually the coronary arteries, that supply blood to the heart

Any of these complications can damage your child's heart. Inflammation of the coronary arteries can lead to weakening and bulging of the artery wall (aneurysm). Aneurysms increase the risk of blood clots forming and blocking the artery, which could lead to a heart attack or cause life-threatening internal bleeding.
For a small percentage of children who develop coronary artery problems, Kawasaki disease is fatal, even with treatment. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/kawasaki-disease/DS00576/DSECTION=complications

Scary HUH??? Ya my point exactly!!!

The cardiologist informs me that Carsen will have to have another Echo in 2 weeks then 6weeks & then 6 months & up until he is 5years old to make sure he never develops or developed a complication from Kawasaki. Thankfully during his scan that day everything looked good!

My husband was off of work to stay home with our other 2 boy's as I refused to be away from my sick baby boy he needed me & I him! My mother in law decided to come down & help us & flew in Saturday so she could be there for the boy's & help around the house!! She has no idea how grateful I am to her for that.

Saturday June 1st- My Mother in law flew in around Noon & then everyone was coming up to visit I was so excited to see my other babies I have never been away from them that long even when Carsen was born I only had to stay overnight! I missed their crazy behinds so so much!!
 Well while waiting for them to get to the hospital, I got exciting news... Carsen had been fever free 32 hours & his symptoms had gotten much better so they decided we could go home (I had not shared this with anyone but my parents till now) So we went home Saturday June 1st at 2pm it was great to be home until 5pm hit!
  At 5pm after a nap Carsen woke up burning up & his fever was back 101.6 his Rash flared back up his Lips were bright Red again & his Eyes blood shot again! I started Crying because I knew what this meant we were going back to the hospital!! I called & spoke with the Cardiologist & he said you know what I'm going to tell you right?? & I knew we were going back.
His other Dr that had been seeing him at the hospital also called me and said pack a bag you have to come back. So I packed a bag & off to make the 45min drive again!  A screaming baby who felt awful once again.

Once we were back they again weighed, measured & took his temperature at this point it was 104. I was so upset once again my poor baby had to get an IV and this time it took 2 tries it was AWFUL he was screaming & struggling & finally he was so tired & sick he passed out. Then came time for medication..
Tylenol to reduce fever Aspirin for his therapy for anti-inflammatory (my understanding is also to reduce clotting purposes like that of an adult taking aspirin), Benadryl to reduce any possible itchiness for another dose of IVIG! another 8-12 hours of a drip. More Dr's to speak with. They said sometimes kids need more than one dose of the IVIG & apparently Carsen was one of the Few!
This time they kept his drip on a slower pace so he didn't go through the shaking like the last time! More sleepless hours of holding a sick baby whom I did everything I could for to make comfortable. It is amazing how a mothers body can go days with out sleep and constantly rock & hold a baby.

Sunday June 2- At 10am Carsen was done with his IVIG and he once again seemed to be feeling better!! The cardiologist came in to visit us & informed me he had seen only one other little boy spike a fever again after 30+hours & require a second dose of IVIG he said hopefully Carsen would be good after this second dose or our next step would be using a medication that is used for treating rheumatoid arthritis.
The Cardiologist said that this time we would not be leaving until a full 48 hours after his IVIG treatment. Which would mean Tuesday at 10am. This was a special day as well because we were asked by the Hospital to be interviewed by the Children's Miracle Network & be on the News!! Which I of course agreed I wanted others to hear about Kawasaki! If I can figure out how I will upload the clip!

Monday June 3-Was a great day my baby was now playing, the hospital was great & even brought him in toys to entertain him & daddy left him the ipad so he could play on that as well. It was pretty hard trying to keep a 1yr old who was attached to a bunch of wires in a certain area they brought us blankets so we could play on the floor & eat there. We skyped with his brothers & I got teary eyed as they were talking to each other I missed them & they missed their baby brother! Monday night went pretty good he slept the best he had in over a week.

Tuesday June 4- I believe I watched the clock like a hawk that morning praying that his fever did not come back pleading that we could get home!! His Rash had now faded, His eyes White once again, His Lips now Pink but a little cracked, Feet less swollen! & the best news he was walking again oh I was so happy.
 I was crying happy tears to see my baby walking again! Kawasaki can make their joints hurt really bad (reason Carsen refused to walk hurt too much). The Dr's came in and evaluated him & could not believe the difference in him they all said he looked so much better!! They all agreed that since we made it 48 hours after IVIG & over 48 hours without a fever we could finally go home. I think I did a happy dance at this point!! We were sent home to continue his Aspirin therapy every 6 hours till his fallow up with the Cardiologist in 8 days.
So Hubby came to get us & the smile on his face when he saw his baby was priceless he was so happy to A.) see him & B.) see how much better he looked & was acting. It is really hard to see your baby so sick & in pain & there is nothing you can do to help them. It is heartbreaking!! Home we went & we were all reunited & it felt so good!!! It was amazing to be with all my boy's again!!

We had a follow up with his PA Thursday June 5- & she could not believe how good he looked & acted. I think I thanked her a million times for her persistence to have him admitted to the Hospital & her knowledge of Kawasaki & saving my son with out her it may not have clicked to me & it could have been too late. Now we are just waiting for Carsen's fallow up apt with the Cardiologist. & once I have some answers from that I will update! In the mean time I urge you to read up on Kawasaki.

Be aware of the symptoms :
Red swollen lips
Red blood shot Eyes
Fever lasting 5 days 101 or higher
Swollen lymph nodes
Swollen Hands/Feet
Strawberry Tongue
Rash

If your Child has 4 or more of these symptoms call your DR immediately!!!

Kawasaki Disease- A nightmare I never expected Part 1

Kawa What??? - I'm sure your thinking? Some of my friends & family have a brief understanding of Kawasaki now because my youngest child came down with this awful disease!!

First I will give you our story of what happened & then I will give you info on where to learn more & what to look for! This will probably be a 2 part blog because it has ALOT of detail & info! I am trying to make others aware & prepared because This is SERIOUS if it is not caught & the child is not treated it can cause serious issues with the child's heart! You have a 10 day window to receive treatment we caught it on day 5!


My nightmare- Saturday May 24 my youngest son Carsen who turned 1 on the 13th of May started running a low grade fever it was between 99.5 & 99.7 I attributed his low grade fever to his teething he is getting some molars I could feel them & assumed that was the cause.

Sunday May 25- Carsen started running a higher fever later in the day into the night & he was crabby & could not sleep he I assumed Ear infection at this point his fever was now 101 he was messing with his ear & only could sleep if on me I was alternating Tylenol & Motrin to make him comfortable & planned to take him to the Dr. in the morning!

Monday May 26- I called the Dr first thing in the morning only to realize they were closed because silly me I forgot it was Memorial Day! Well I knew we couldn't wait till the next day my baby was in pain & really not feeling well or sleeping, he was so tired he started to get red blood shot looking eyes. So off to Urgent Care we went.
  We were admitted fast & the Dr. looked in his ears she said they were red & said she was going to put him on amoxicillin. So off to Target we went to fill his script!
  Phew my baby will now get some relief or so I thought! Monday night was awful Carsen barely slept he was up every hour & screaming He had had 2 doses of his antibiotic now & it was not helping at all & his fever was still at 101-101.6

Tuesday May 27- Carsen has his 3rd dose of amoxicillin and still seeing no relief he all of a sudden breaks out in a rash on his legs butt & a little on his arms! I start freaking out thinking he is having an allergic reaction to the medicine my brother & mother are allergic so I assume he inherited the allergy. Immediately  I call his Dr office & they tell me to bring him straight in to see his PA.

His PA comes in and looks at his rash she says that she see's my concern but it does not look like a reaction, she then checks his ears to: Inform me they are not infected nor should he have been put on amoxicillin but unless you are used to children's ears the little redness a normal adult Dr sees can be mistaken for ear infection. She informs me to stop the amoxicillin.

She then continues to look him over he still is running his Fever, ears are not infected his Rash does not resemble that of Strep. She asks me about his Red Blood Shot Eyes. She asks me about his Very Red Lips (they look as tho he'd been drinking red Kool-Aid). Which we do not allow in our house! & then she say's I think he has Kawasaki Disease! & I shutter!! I remember a Grey's Anatomy episode to raise awareness of this disease a RARE disease a Scary disease!!!

His PA said that she was hoping he maybe had a viral form of pink eye that can produce fever & rash but she does not feel that is the cause so she requests another appointment be made with her for in 2 days because if he still has a fever that would be 5 days of a fever of 101 which is common with Kawasaki. While there she also did a white blood cell count & would take another on Thursday. So we wait & continue Tylenol & Motrin to help comfort him.

Wednesday May 28- No sleep at all I'm exhausted & he is miserable I can not set him down his feet are now swollen & he refuses to walk when he had been walking for over 2 weeks & all I can do is cry! I'm scared, I'm terrified of what is going to happen to my child & I start googling! No one knows much about Kawasaki or how a child gets it. It is looking more likely to be an auto immune disease. It is not contagious. But they just don't have enough info on this disease.

Thursday May 29- Back to the PA she draws more blood his white count is up more still Fever, Red Blood Shot Eyes, Red Lips, Rash, Swollen Feet! She is positive it is Kawasaki. She calls in another Dr & he also finds a Lymph Node that is more swollen & he as well feels Kawasaki. So then they start calling out to a hospital in Greenville NC which is 45 minutes from us. They are a Children's Hospital with a team of specialists! He is going to need to be seen by a Pediatric  Cardiologist as well!

So I text a great friend of mine & ask her if she could please watch my other 2 boy's so my husband can go to the hospital with me & she says of course (I could have kissed her) Seriously she has no idea how much I appreciated her willingness to help me. I needed my husband because I was so terrified! Home to pack a bag & say goodbye to my other babies & off we go! My husband & I's hearts in our stomach's so scared for our baby. We arrive & immediately he is weighed, measured, temperature is  taken were now rolling with 103. He is hooked up to stuff given meds and numbing cream placed on his hands for an IV!

Dr's are coming in left & right & I am having to go over & over day by day my son's symptoms  I talked to 4 different Dr's in the course of an hour. They also believe him to have Kawasaki.Then comes the IV that was so depressing watching my little baby fight so hard he was so upset because he had to be held down luckily when they stuck him with the needle he didn't seem to flinch so the numbing cream worked! Blood is drawn a pee bag placed on him to get a urine sample & I just am holding back tears looking at all this on my baby.
.
Blood work comes back with elevated counts all pointing to Kawasaki. They don't have a test yet to actually determine Kawasaki but they are working on it. But with his elevated levels & all his symptoms the Team of Dr's are all convinced he has Kawasaki the one Dr even told me should could take a picture of him & slap it into a text book next to the word because he looked exactly like pictures of kids who have also had it & all the descriptions for this disease.

Then starts the treatment how they treat Kawasaki is a round of IV meds called Intravenous immunoglobulin for short IVIG! What is IVIG you ask well... it is a blood product an immune protein. They also give a high dose of baby Aspirin every 6 hours! the baby aspirin had to be crushed & mixed with juice & given through a syringe.
  They give IVIG through the IV over a course of 8-12 hours as a slow drip every 1/2 hour though they increase the flow when we hit a certain point that night he started shaking & his fever rose. They decided to give him some Tylenol & decrease the rate of the drip. Finally they got that under control because holding my shaking baby was so scary. Poor thing just felt awful! I held him constantly unless it was time to eat or If I got him to pass out I laid him in the crib so I could use the bathroom or take a quick shower.                       
                                                                    Night One

I will end this part here and have the rest tomorrow as I said before it is a lot of info! Stay tuned & in the mean time here is the KD Foundation page you can also receive info from

Ah Motherhood

Well had you been in my house last night you surely would have heard me singing in my opera voice!!!

Motherhood is awesome it really is, there are day's I want to run to a deserted island & never return but at the end of the day I wouldn't change my choice to become a mom!! The kisses & hugs & funny things the kids do all make it worth it!

 But.. there is a lot of crap that comes with being a mom & by crap some days I literally mean crap!

Event 1:  As I as I'm playing with the kids my oldest runs off to the bathroom normal he's 5.
 So I'm playing with the little two & all of a sudden Aiden is screaming running into the room freaking I'm like what what & he's yelling I over flowed the toilet!
  
Ah CRAP! & that's just what it was! So I am hard core plunging the toilet and here come the other 2 I'm trying to gently nudge them back because who the heck wants their kid playing in poop! Get that crisis averted & back to playing or so I think...

Event 2: My 2 1/2 yr old comes yelling mommy I peed I peed! Well I was just plunging the toilet & my bathroom is closed due to Tuesday's toilet adventure so this can only mean one thing...

Oh boy yep pee all over the floor & on a puzzle of a tree. Well I suppose the fact that there was a tree he figured it was ok since he likes to pee on trees outside!

Brycen has actually been fully day time potty trained since 20 months. He did it all on his own he showed the interest & we kept up with it, but every once in a great while we have an accident it happens!
  
I  do give him an A for effort for peeing on a tree just wish it was outside not a puzzle on the inside!

So off to get my cleaning mixture I soak the spot up then sprinkle baking soda over it & then use a spray bottle of vinegar/ water & 2 essential oils lemon grass & tea tree & it takes care of the smell!!

Essential oils are pretty darn amazing they are like my New Best Friends!! So don't worry you will hear more about them :)

So back to playing when...

Event 3: The bloody nose! UGH! Now I say ugh because if my son would learn to leave his finger out of his nose we wouldn't have the bloody nose problem!! & the boy is a bleeder he takes after me poor kid! Seriously all over my bed he's covered so off to the recliner he goes with a wad of paper towels!

Of course my husband is at softball during all this! Lucky jerk! No seriously though, sometimes I think he thinks I make this crap up because it always happens when it's just me!

Oh the joy's of Motherhood!! It is never dull NEVER!!  When the day is done & I kiss them goodnight & we exchange the I love yous it makes me smile & chuckle & think you may deal with some crap but it's TOTALLY worth it!!

Strawberry Bread

As promised from yesterday here is the Strawberry Bread:

 

 

 

 

 

 

So I played around on pinterest looking for a recipe & I found a few & then decided to do what I wanted.

I do that a lot! So here is how I made my bread:

3- cups flour

1-cup sugar

3- Eggs beaten

1 Tbsp- Cinnamon

1 tsp- Salt

1 Tsp- Baking soda

1 1/4 cup apple sauce

*Fresh strawberries (you could use frozen & thaw) But I think fresh is better :)

Not really sure how many I used because we had went Strawberry picking I'd say probably about a pack & 1/2 from the store & slice them

Mix all dry ingredients & then add apple sauce & eggs & then fold in strawberries

 

*You could add nuts or chocolate chips

 

I have friends with allergies so I wanted to be careful with what I put in mine.

Bake at 350 for 40 minutes to 1 hr you want a toothpick to come out clean.

 

I used 3 smaller loaf pans you could do 2  9in pans make sure you butter them or at least spray with Pam

 

This was super yummy & a big hit!! It is very moist!! My kids ate it again this morning for breakfast!

Winning!!!!

Enjoy

Sitcom City

I've said it before I need my own show!! Seriously I can't make up the stories of my life if I tried!! It's like a sitcom here and almost on a daily basis!!

I know it's been quite awhile since I've blogged & life has been anything but dull to say the least!! If I can recall some of the other craziness that has gone on around here I will share but right now I feel like I'm living in a blur!

Today I have a funny story well a couple actually!! Today started an easy chill morning I had a few of my closest girl friends over for some coffee & muffins & strawberry bread (it's delicious & I will share the recipe soon). Anyhow we had a lot of laughs the boys actually napped while the girls were here they were up early this am so then they crashed.

Well after they woke up & entertained everyone with their cuteness, it was time to say goodbye the girls left & my real life began... the life behind closed doors that not everyone sees! See.. everyone always says my kids are so cute & so well behaved boy do they have people fooled!!!


As I'm cleaning up from the get together I realize Brycen & Carsen (who is 1 now & walking & into everything ) have disappeared this is never a good thing!!! Where could they be you ask?? Whelp momma forgot to shut her bathroom door & in the bathroom were 2 toilet monsters! Yep folks splish splashing in the potty water SWEET!!! As I run in yelling Noooo I slip on all the water they splashed out do a split (haven't done one since eh.. Senior yr in high school about 11 yrs ago) & smash my knee it was awesome NOT! The boy's were laughing funny funny mommy fell!!

So get that mess cleaned up & lunch done & all that fun well now its time for Carsen's second nap so down he goes & what did mommy forget to do again yep close the bathroom door Dammit!

There sits Brycen covered in toothpaste & toilet paper! Why??? "look mommy lotion" -Um no son that's not lotion & you now smell like a peppermint candy & your sticky time to rinse your booty off!!!

So we get that taken care of. Play some super hero's, have a visit from the Bug man because mommy does not do Bugs it's about summer time & the creepy crawlers are coming out! He told me I had a village of children made me laugh!! Probably because they were coming out of every room one at a time.
 Scary I'm sure!! sometimes they scare me I feel taken over some days! Makes me kind of wish I was an octopus with 8 arms (imagine the things you could get done).

Well then its time to prep dinner & then play some more & then the dramatics set in Brycen decides to shove a ball in a toy that it does not belong in & guess what?? It's stuck & he is freaking! Daddy has a job when he gets home ;) Then Carsen decides Brycen's juice cup looks good & he's thirsty so why not take a drink & oh man it's on don't mess with the boy's juice.
                                                        
                                                              Seriously..............

At this point I found myself singing in an Opera voice! Yep sometimes when things get too crazy I sing high pitched maybe to block out the whining? Maybe because in some weird way it distresses' me? I dunno but it helps! So ya I do that & they all look at me like your crazy & hurting my ears hahah I suppose the day glass shatters that method will be over with but for now it works :)

What do you do when things get too crazy? Do you run? Hide? Sing?

Little Feet

2 Little feet in my face

2 Little feet lay across my chest

2 Little feet in my back

Some may think I'm crazy that I have 2 little feet on me or poking me in my back or side but to me I know it's just my baby sleeping with me.

Not every night do we do this but even when I get no sleep because 2 little feet wake me constantly I know my baby is safe he is happy he is content he is with me.

I kiss those 2 little feet because they are so sweet, I may tickle those little feet to make them move just a smige. And I smile because for now they are 2 little feet!

One day those 2 little feet will be big they won't be in my bed! One day those 2 little feet will be off to kindergarten and then to middle, high school and then in a blink of an eye those two little feet will walk across a stage to accept a diploma and those 2 little feet will drive off!

Those 2 little feet will one day have a pair of feet to complement them and then one day those 4 feet will have their own set of 2 little feet in their face and in their back! Slow down time please slow down for my baby is almost 1!

I am not ready for those 2 little feet to grow so fast! It is hard to not be tired  &  not complain when you have a restless night of sleep but last night as I laid in my bed with those 2 little feet I realized how fast those 2 little feet are growing and it mad me stop and think just enjoy your restless nights for one day they will be gone and you will wish you had them back.

Soon I will be sending 2 feet to kindergarten and I realized how fast those feet grew. Last night I was lucky to have 4 feet in my bed & I almost wanted to wake my other to have all 6 of those little feet in my bed!

My kids are growing way too fast & I do not like it! Though they drive me crazy many days one day they will all leave me and I will miss them driving me crazy.

So right now I will enjoy little feet in my bed I will enjoy them in my face, I will enjoy the sweet smell of their little feet.  I will tickle and kiss those little feet because too quickly they will be big!

8 Down Rest Of Our Lives To Go

If 10 years ago someone would have told me when I walked into a tanning bed I would meet the man I was going to marry I would have laughed in their face! But that is just what happened.

I was kind of a brat back then little stuck on myself as most 18 year olds are. Pretty much thought I was hot shit! Although looking back at pictures I kind of had a right to be j/k but seriously what I wouldn't give to look like that again. Sigh* oh we'll my 3 little boys are worth the stretch marks and drooping boobs.

Anyhow as little miss bratty walks in to tan she sees a guy dressed in Echo (if you now know my husband you'd never think he would have dressed that way) he too thought he was hot shit, tried to talk to me and we'll I wouldn't give him the time of day! Later he even called me a stuck up B it's funny to me now (it was true) had he not called me that I would have never got into an argument with him.

I believe in fate I believe that you meet the one when the time is right, and apparently the time was right.

We dated and fell in love he joined the Marines and we wrote each other everyday while he was at boot camp. I still have every letter he wrote me its then in those letters I knew I would marry him. I flew for my first time Ever to see him graduate boot camp. What we do for the ones we love!

I visited him while he was attending his schooling and on the beach sitting in his lap listening to the ocean is when he said we should get married we talked about it a lot.  I got my proposal over  the phone (the military does not allow much time to plan) he even asked my dad for permission.

On this day 8 years ago I married my best friend, my soulmate, the man I can't live without! The man who gave me the 3 greatest gifts in the whole entire world my boy's.

Marriage is not easy it's tough in fact the first 6months I didn't know if we would even make it I was in a new state miles away from my family I had no job, and  no friends for a little bit. I was pretty depressed I cried every night for the first month, I did make some great friends tho and then the news that my husband was deploying for 6months.

We decided I'd move back home, you want to know a fun fact about military life it changes at any second we had a set date of when he was leaving and guess what one night he came home and woke me to tell me in 12 hours he was leaving! Yep 12 hour notice that I was losing my husband for 6 months so please don't ever whine to a military wife that your husband is going on a weekend trip because we want to slap you!

In that 6 months I learned a lot I learned he was the only person I needed he was the one I wanted to see every night before I went to sleep and the one person I wanted to see when I woke. It was a long 6 months but boy was it worth it when I saw him and his arms were around me again. I knew we could handle anything.

 And I thought that was the hardest thing I'd ever went through but nope
 Que  deployment 2 me 6 months pregnant & him deploying & me having to give birth to our first child without him!! Ya that my friends was the hardest! But we got though it and then a year and a half later all over again my now 18 month old had to say bye to his daddy and not see him again till a little after his 2nd birthday! We got through it tho pictures & phone calls & emails. Did we Skype um Nope we didn't have that luxury we were lucky if we got an email response that same day!

We have had a lot of highs and a lot of lows we have been through 3 deployments, 3 births, a lot of family deaths, buying & trying to sell a house, raising 3 kids. He has seen me at my best & boy has  he seen me at my worst! But he has loved me no matter what. He is the only person that can make me laugh when I am in my worst mood ever! We never go to bed angry (that is very important). We have learned to not sweat the small stuff because there is so much out of our control. We have learned to deal with the hand we get delt together and work as a team.

We're to the point we can finish each others sentences we can talk in code, we know what the other is thinking before they even say it!!  My sweet husband can still surprise the heck out of me tho he had the sweetest thing made for me for our 8 year mark a beautiful ring that my friend custom made. He brought tears to my eyes. It was pretty romantic. That man has my heart forever. I love him so much. I am so thankful I walked in the door of tanning bed I did 10 years ago!

Marriage is not a one way street it takes two people to make it work, you need to be each others shoulder to lean on, you need to be each others support, and cheer each other on.  You need to be each others best friend. You need trust & communication to make it work!! I have learned a lot in our 8 years I can't wait to get to 10 & 20 and so on and so on!! I am with the man I love and couldn't be happier.    

Till death do us part I do!!!
