Update on Kimo (from 3/10/08)

So it has been a long weekend. We were home for about 8 hours on Sat and we had to take him back to the ER. All of his symptoms came back and he was screaming again that he couldn't walk and his ankles were getting swollen again. We had given him his meds, but he couldn't keep them down. Daddy got him to keep down about 2ml of the stuff. So we ended up back at the ER at 9pm. They took us into the ER after us waiting for 15mins in the waiting area. We didn't even do all the admitting stuff when they took us to the bak. So we were in there little area and then about an hour later they got him a bed. They told us they weren't sure if they were going to do blood again, but then about 30mins later they came over and said they had to, and they had to put in another IV. Hubby and I were both so nervous about all this because it wasn't even 24 hours that they had taken the other IV out. So hubby took Nani for a walk while they drew the blood and put in the IV. Luckly this nurse was smart and chose to use the IV to get 4 viles blood so Kimo didn't have to get poked twice. The nurse then came back about 15mins later and took 2 more viles and told us these viles don't don't normally have in the ER and it was a different test the Dr wanted to run. So finally Nani and Kimo fell asleep about 1am and then at 2am Nani and I went home, while of course was the time change so we were home a little after 3am and Kimo didn't get his room till 3:30am. We spent all day Sun in the hospital, and the Dr kept us over night Sun night to make sure we didn't have another repeat trip on Sun night. The Dr said it seems like Kimo was having the flaire ups at night so he wanted to watch him longer. We were released today Mon at 1pm. It is so nice to be home, but now we have the chalange for getting Kimo to take the meds so we don't have to go back. We were told it could take up to 10 days before all the Augmentin is out of his system. So it's a wait and see to make sure he is all the way out of the woods. Oh the fun part is that with the bendryl he doesn't get sleepy, he hyper for hours and then crashes hard!! Nani is good, and just trying to play with brother and all his new toys!!!
