Brocs labs were not any better on Friday. As you read in the previous posts he's been sick for 3 weeks now with low WBC and nuetrophils and Thursday he started with belly pain. Friday we went to ped to check spleen and liver and all looked good except he was very tender in his abdomen. Last night we never slept at all and he dry heaved the whole night. I tried giving him gas drops,zofran for the nausea and Tylenol for the pain but nothing helped him. Around 5 this morning I decided to bring him to the ER. Normally I can handle him at home but we had to stop all his feeds and he wasn't taking in any liquids at all due to all his pain. He fell asleep in the car on the way here and by the time we got here he was completely lethargic. We moved him from his wheel chair to the bed and undressed him and he still never woke up. They even flushed his lines with saline once they drew his labs and he still never flinched.
Anyone that knows Broc knows that he hates the saline flushes as he can taste it in his mouth. The Drs got very worried and admitted him straight away. They gave us the option to go to Riley but we really wanted to stay close to home if we could. He has a great team of Drs here that know him very well.
His immuno came over to see him and speak with the Drs here. They have not decided yet on a treatment plan for the virus / infection but we are dealing with the pseudo obstruction first. The obstruction is caused by the virus /infection that he has.
He is not able to tolerate anything by mouth. We are trying ice chips but that is causing him pain too. We are hoping that by morning his KUB will be much better and some of the air will have moved through this belly. At the moment he has lots of distended bowel loops and air trapped.
There is a possibility that they have narrowed down the virus / infection but they want to do more testing and speak with Infectious Disease tom. If they decided to treat him then it could mean a long term treatment plan.
Hopefully tom we will have more answers.
Thank you for all the love, prayers and support. Thank you to all our friends bad family that have stepped in to help take care of Little Mark.
