I think I haven't posted anything on the forums in weeks and weeks! I do come by and read when I can but life got pretty crazy for me lately


The kids are both sick. Ron (2 years old) has got some weird throat/upper repiratory infection that simply won't go away. He's been on antibiotics for weeks now and everytime we stop, his fever goes up again. He just finished a 10 days course 3 days ago, and last night he came down with a fever again
so far "only" up to 102. He coughs so bad it's scary. And he's got an eye infection to boot.

Dan (3 months old) is on antibiotics for almost 10 days now. An episode of low fever, a very high white blood cells count and a chest x-ray led the doctors to diagnose pneumonia a week ago
which is pretty scary for such a small baby. Then a couple of days later his urine sample came back with e-coli. And this week, a second urine culture came back positive with e-coli again
the doctors are worried about his kidneys, as UTI's at his age can quickly go up from the bladder to the kidneys. We're seeing different urologists about this to see what kind of tests need to be run.

On top of that, I'm being taken to court in a liabel suit
The lawyer says I'm bound to be equited, but the trial could take a while... Just what I needed right now...

That's my life right now... And with trying to keep the sites going and the home... *sigh* I just have no time to post at all...

Going to check on the kids now. Both are asleep (it's the afternoon over here) but Ron was breathing so badly and I need to check on his temperature.

Oh my gosh.... all that is a scary experience, specially when its a small child
Lots of healing vibes through Express mail!
And I presume the last thing you need is a law suit.
You are in our prayers. Oh, and don't worry about the site's well being in your absence. With the kind of members and mod squad it has, it is in good hands.



Hey! 300 posts! Yay!

Oh no! That is a terrible thing for both your kids - I hope they get better really soon.


And that is also awful about the lawsuit, I hope it gets thrown out of court.

Thinking of you, Anne, and sending lots of positive vibes for your various stresses. Hope the boys are over their bugs very soon, and the legal stuff isn't any more of a hassle than it already is.

I hope the boys feel better soon. It's so hard when they are sick and there isn't anything you can do for them. I know my kids think I can fix anything so I feel awful when I can only comfort them.

Thank you everyone!

Ron is still quite sick - fever and a cough. He's on stronger antibiotics now so he's also quite weak. The doctor says that Dan is over the pneumonia but we're still not finished with the UTI. The kidney ultrasound doesn't show any damage to the kidneys for now, so we convinced the doctor to let us try another regular urine test before they get a catheter into him (which in itself can cause infection). We'll bring in the sample on Sunday morning. I'll let you know when we get the results.

Sending you all Get-well-soon vibes and prayers and hope the kids get well real quick.

AS for the lawsuit I too hopes you will win if not acquited all together.

You are missed here Anne. {{{Hugs all around}}}
