My mom fell today and broke her hip :( She will be heading into surgery today at 5pm and then stay in the hospital for 2 days and then go to a rehab center for 2 weeks-month. She is very distraught about the whole thing (as am I!) and in a TERRIBLE amount of pain. Please send up a prayer if you can for a quick recovery :love_hearthrob:

I posted in Children's Medical Matters that it turns out he has pneumonia and a double ear infection. It also turns out that his poor mommy didn't realize how exhausted she was until she actually got a few minutes to herself to think about it. I'm so worried about him, though he is a lot better after a few breathing treatments, a dose of orapred and a rocephin shot in the doctor's office. We were supposed to go visit my grandma, who lives about an hour from us, tomorrow, but Landon and I...

hello all....i normally don't ever ask for prayers for me SPECIFICALLY but for a while now, i have needed them so i thought i would post them here.... my story is that on feb 17, i had surgery to because i had my REFLUX back about 2 years ago (8 years after having my NISSEN done for my GERD) and after tons of test, i had to have surgery because my hiatal hernia was the size of a mans fist and my tummy went THRU my hiatal hernia and was in my CHEST ABOVE MY DIAPHRAM!!!!!!!! yep, not pretty...

Please keep a RL friend of mine and her baby boy J in your prayers. He has a working diagnosis of Menke's Disease, which is terminal. She is devastated, of course. Pray for strength, she is such a wonderful mom, and she has 4 other children. I have guided her here, and I hope she comes....

Teddy was admitted to the hospital yesterday. He isn't tolerating anything through the gtube, not even pedialyte. When they admitted him he was dehydrated. He got some iv fluids but is still pretty listless and miserable.

Laura has her Gastroscopy tomorrow .I would appreciate prayers/thoughts .Thanks

Today was landen's pre-op for his PE tubes and adenoidectomy that is scheduled for Monday and his finger stick bloodwork came back abnormal. He is very anemic and the pedi is concerned. I told her I struggle to get a little bit of his milk in him each day and we still struggle to find foods he can tolerate. She had to send us for a "big" blood draw which was really difficult for me b/c he is so strong. He broke loose from me and nearly yanked the needle out. She sent for CBC and a test for...

Please pray for us as we need to be at the hospital at 545am and surgery is at 730. Pray that it is quick and as painless as possible, and that we find some answers. I have never thought that I would be putting a second child through something like this, but with Calebs biopsy 2 years ago, all we got was more confusion, so we are hoping for some answers this time around. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers! Brandi

went to the d.r for Vienne and myself. As it tyrns out I have bronchitis, and she has bronchitis and 2 ear infections. Her Dr put her on amoxicillon, which I am very allergic. I am going to give her it tonight. I hope she doe not have a reaction, because I am not sure what to watch for. if you do let me know. Anyway thanks for the prayers, I believe we are on the mend. and it was not pneumonia!! yeah.

Isabella is having a repeat endoscopy, bronchoscope, impedance probe test, and sweat test starting tomorrow and running through Tuesday a.m. Typically I am not so concerned, but she has suddenly started vomitting daily and the doctors think that it has to do with her metabolic problems. The scary thing is that due to the scheduling of one of the two doctors testing her together tomorrow, she is having the procedure in an off-site hospital location and I'm very uneasy about the whole thing. ...

Please spare a thought for Eliana tomorrow as she will have an MRI to determine what the lump is and swelling in her thigh. We spent 3 days in patient with no answers and they let us go home for the weekend. She has also been running a low grade fever. It's always something.

Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers. We are still in the PICU, but addie continues to be very stable. At this point they are keeping us here only because we have no idea what went wrong to cause the crisis in the first place and I dont want to go the the peds unit until we do. MRI of brain was normal, still waiting on the liver biopsy results and lots of random labs. She is going to the OR tomorrow or tuesday to have a port placed. The only thing everyone does know is that this...

Émilie will be at Sick Kids in Toronto for a second opinion. Please wish them luck.

Thanks for all the information. Sometimes I get to involved with the fear of sickness. as it turns out I am the one who caught the evil pneumonia bug. My lungs feel like they are drowing, and on top of this I lost my voice to day. I have no idea why. I thought my cold was gone, then yesterday boom my throat started hurting and the cough returned. Of course a fever came last night. My mom (who is a great nurse) listened with her stethoscope to my lungs, then said I have decrease air movement and...

Tayler is having her brain MRI done tomorrow morning. It is being done both with and without contrast so she has to be put under general anesthesia. I am surprised how nervous I am about it so I appreciate all of the special thoughts!

It has been 7.5 years for Hunter and 4.5 years for Matthew without any real answers as to why both boys have dysmotility of their intestines, chronic constipation, acid reflux, gerd, and malabsorption problems. Maybe he can also enlighten us to why Matthew cannot digest protein. The boy's old GI treated everything with medication and upping meds when those things did not work. We are really hoping that this new GI will get down to the bottom of these problems and give us a real answer to what...

Doug has his six month post-op cardiology check-up tomorrow. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

I called the surgeon's office yesterday because Nicole's curve has suddenly seemed worse over the last week or so--she's getting wiped out quickly after playing hard (breathing fine), reflux flaring up, and her back looks worse. He had us bring her in for an x-ray today, but the surgeon himself was out of the office so we won't hear anything until tomorrow. Please pray that this isn't going to make her surgery or recovery harder, or delay the surgery (a week from today).

Amanda has an MRI of the wrist tomorrow. Please think of them.

Caleb is seeing the motility GI tomorrow to find out the plan for his treatment. Please keep them in your thoughts.
