Just a quick note about Holly...
 

She was admitted to Phoenix Children's Hospital at 3am this morning...for flu-like symptoms. Due to her past problems with renal function...it looks like they are going to keep her for a few days https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif

Her creatinine and potassium levels are high (high potassium can cause arrythmias...and creatinine not being 'cleared' out of the blood is a sure sign that the kidneys aren't working like they are supposed to)

Mom and Holly are spending the night there again tonight...and we'll take shifts from then on.

On top of that...on the way to the hospital this evening, we experienced a sidewall blowout on the freeway! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/shocked.gif
Someone was watching over Lynn and I...as we were able to get the truck stopped without a problem...and with the help of a DPS officer (my back has been hurting for a few days and I was laid up all day today) we changed the tire quickly. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

I think I may have inherited the "Annie" black cloud of bad luck...LOL https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Bruce,

Send our best to Holly! She has a positive outlook which will help her. I get the impression she is a fighter.

Drive safely please! As the victim of a small accident on Friday morning, we need to slow down and take a deep breath as a community.

Best,

Re: Just a quick note about Holly...
 

Sorry to here this Bruce. I know all about creatinine levels. I was born with only one kidney, so it's something that has to be checked several times a year, and it can make you feel lousy if it's elevated. Hope she's feeling better soon. She's been through way more than anyone should have to, especially at her age. Keep us informed...

Re: Just a quick note about Holly...
 

I just talked to Holly. Obviously tired out but she is in good spirits. That's a good thing, she's a tough kid. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Just a quick note about Holly...
 

Get better soon Holly. Bruce, be easy on that back, you only get one.

Bruce,

I'm probably preaching to the choir with this, but I never underestimate the power of prayer. In '95 my father-in-law had a cardiac event (heart stopped) in John Wayne Airport and went to the floor (near the rental car counters by the big statue). The Sheriff's Deputy close by saw him go down and got the EMT's there and they hit him with the paddles on the way to Irvine Medical Center, where they brought him back (he was gone for over 11 minutes total). My wife was contacted right away, and we jumped in the car for the 15 minute drive down the 405 with my her on the rosaries the whole way. The intensity with which she was communicating was impressive. He came through it and is still here today.
There was a great deal of concern for the brain swelling, and we were warned if he survived, it could well be in a vegitative state.

I will never underestimate the power of prayer. Hang in ther Holly!

I am right there with you James. One of these days...I will share a cool story with all of you...but it's too much to type for now.

I feel that I am letting Holly "down" with my own stupid back problem...but it hurts so bad at times that I cannot move.It's also putting a strain on Lynn...as we aren't able to switch out very well being with Holly.

On a positive note...her levels for the creatinine and potassium are down significantly...now they just want to make sure that they stay that way. They are thinking that she has H1N1...but like Darren says...she is in good spirits (like always with her).

Thanks everybody so much for the kind thoughts, prayers and phone calls. They are ALL helping.

I can't say it enough https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ouguysrock.gif

Re: Just a quick note about Holly...
 

Bruce, give us an update on Holly this morning. Tex

Re: Just a quick note about Holly...
 

Holly was moved to another room...as the hospital was trying to put another child in with her (immune suppressed child with another child who is sick in the same room? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif )

So, about 2am this morning the switch was made. The kidney doc also came in...and it looks like Holly will be there for a while (a week or so?)as they don't want to sent her home only to relapse...her creatinine and potassium levels are back up...along with her blood pressure.

That's all I have for now...

Re: Just a quick note about Holly...
 

Thanks for the update Bruce. We're thinking of you guys.

That's unbelievable! But unfortunately, it's way too common. I don't know what is going on in the health industry but this type of mistake is being made way too often. I hope she starts doing better real soon and keep us updated, we're all thinking about you guys!
