Re: X-POST: Kenneth needs some quick prayers:

oh thank you guys so much for all the well wishes!!!

Kenneth is doing much better today. They gave him some meds to help him rest and he was finally able to get some sleep. They put a tube in his nose which isn't as bad as it sounds - he was awake for it's placement and it isn't uncomfortable for him. They used that tube to take A LOT of the gas out of his stomach... that took away the hiccups, finally. Then, it was much easier for him to rest/sleep and he was much more comfortable. He is in good spirits... he is well aware that he is in the hospital just to see what is going on. They put him on antibiotics incase their theory of slight pneumonia is accurate.

They also did a bunch of scans for everything else and were able to rule out: something wrong with one of his shunts in his brain, something wrong with his appendix, something wrong with his abdomin that needs surgery, something wrong with his chest other than fluid being in the lungs. We won't know if it is definitely pneumonia for another two days but even if it is he is on the antibiotic anyway to knock it out just incase. He is already doing much better anyway - he looks better and doesn't seem to be in pain anymore.

They gave him a breathing treatment which helped his wheezing to subside. They also gave him a ton of fluids. The only thing is, he cannot eat or drink anything until they find out for sure what it is. He is hungry which is a good sign... he keeps signaling that he wants to eat! They moved him into a very private, nice room in the ICU -- not because he needs to be in the ICU -- just because that is the nicest, most private room and rooms are limited there so that was what was available. They are treating us SO nicely!! We really could not ask for better. The EMT's who brought him in informed them of the situation and they have been wonderful - we are lucky.

I will tell you more as soon as I know more - as for now, he is definitely staying another two days to rule out pneumonia. They have not ruled out a simple stomach virus - so, at the very least, it could just be that! Luckily, none of the options we are facing right now are very serious at all - everything is very treatable and being taken care of already as precaution!

The prayers worked! Thank you! Chat Icon
