That is very scary, Meningitis is hella scary, kills fast too glad it isn't that!...as soon as you go to a hospital demand to see the ER Pediatrician otherwise they will just give you to the normal person that is in the ER. The ER Pediatricians will actually give a fuck about your kid.
My son (turned 4 today) when he was about a little over a year old he started crying like mad one day and for 2 days all he would do is cry. We took him to the hospital cause he had a 100.8 temp. The ER doctor was a complete idiot and said our son had Colic. He was well past the normal age of when to even get Colic and sent us home. In about 3 hours he had a 104.3 temp. called the advice nurse and they said to bring him in ASAP. I saw the same ER guy when we were rushed in and said "COLIC HUH MOTHER FUCKER!?!?" He had pneumonia and bacterial blood infection. Colic???? Where the fuck do they find these people. We were treated like idiots on the first trip in...and we waited 5 hours for him to say colic then leave. The whole time we wait our son was screaming.
He has normal asthma now and my daughter just got off a breathing machine with a medicine mist mask thingy.
albuteroal(sp)? My son used to wear that little mask a couple years ago when he had trouble breathing but he has been ok since. Their are alot of stupid ass doctors out their. Always remember they are "practicing medicine" on you and your loved ones. I read a story the other day how a hospital had 3 different brain surgery patients this year where the doctor operated on the wrong side of the patients head! ![[Eek!]](eek.gif) scary!

Today lil dude had a spinal tap to test for meningitis. They weren't
100% sure that it was necessary until they saw a video of Saturday
night that we took of him sticking out his tongue,they thought it may be a possible seizure from the infection, we thought it was
necessary though as you can never be to careful with things like
this. And after what happened leading up to this with lack of testing
from the getgo, as uncomfortable as it may be its only the best thing
for him. The test went very well as far as pain etc and results....
It normally can take up to 30 mins to do so but the lil dude had none
of that and was done in 10 mins and only fussed for a minute.
Preliminary results came in about 2:30 and the test came back
negative as of now. It will take 24 hours to have a 100% answer but
with the preliminary results looking the way they do its a very good
indication it will come back negative. Another good positive is that
the blood work that was taken on Sunday came back
negative as well, which means that the antibiotics are doing there
job. They will keep the blood culture under light to make sure no
bacteria is present or grows. So everything is going good. He is
still eating like the fat lil guy that he is!
Sierra wasn't feeling to well today as she woke up with a 100 degree
temperature. Damn when it rains it pours...So she was taken across
the way to Urgent Care. Again as they always like to do they
diagnosed her with a Cold/Virus which it may very well be. BUT they
are going to do BLOODWORK on her a little later this afternoon, weird
what would EVER give them that idea to do something like that! Of
course everything always seems to take 24 hours so well find out
everything tomorrow.
Okay off to get some grub, will update as we hear anything
