Jesse was admitted to the Hospital again on March 10-14, 2012. He just wasn't acting right and was running a high fever, holding his head at an odd angle, still wasn't drinking right etc. They were concerned with the way he was holding his head so did x-rays to see if they could tell anything. They came to the conclusion that he was holding his head that way because his lymph nodes were swollen and he just was hurting. This time he had Pnemonia and possible strep throat or at least something was making his throat sore. His white blood count was 22 when they checked it, so they admitted him and put him on oral amoxacillan. The next morning they checked again and his blood count was 26.5. The amoxacillan wasn't working so they put an IV line in and and started Rosephen IV and Zithromax orally as well as put him on fluids. The next day his blood count was 19.7. Thankfully the stronger antibiotics were working! The next day his blood count was normal! They kept him till Wednesday morning to make sure he was hydrated enough before sending him home!!! It felt so good to be home again! Between these two trips to the Hospital he spent a whole week in the hospital within a 2 week period! I am also thankful they were able to take care of him here in our small town Hospital and that he didn't have to go 2 or more hours away!
The Nurse in the picure is one of the Nurses who fell in love with him at the Hospital. She is sooo sweet and did an excellant job taking care of him!!! He just loved her to pieces!!! Thank you Lisa for all you did to make our stay a pleasant one!
