i wanted tolet you guys know that Alexys is in Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown. since feb 12th i had her to the docs 5 times and she contiunued to get worse.
thursday when she came home from school after being out 7 days she was leterally sdeathly ill. i took her to the Er and they transferred her to this hospital to the ICU unit of pediatrics.
her white blood count was 48,000...astronomically high.
when they transferred her up here..the papers said that death was the prognosis for her if she wasnt admitted into an icu. i was acared to death but thanks be to God she seems to have came out of the woods. she is now out of icu.
they did various xrays and a cat scan and found that the pneumonia she had been under docs care for hadnt responded to the antibiotics and that her lungs were full of infection.
theyve had her on intravaneoau Rocephin(which they use to treat menangitis) for the last 3 days and she has one more dose tonight.
the doctor has sa8id that if she continues to improve she will go home tomorrow.
i just wanted to let ya'll know what was going on and ask you for a prayer for her.
thank you to everyone that said a prayer for her..i truly appreciate it.
Wow Cathryn, sorry to hear that she was so sick, but its good to know that she is improving. I'll be praying for her and you. Take care.
Pat

Very sorry to hear this news. I hope she pulls through OK. She will be in my prayers. :sad:
I hope she recovers quickly and we'll keep her in our thoughts and prayers. ;yes;
I'm certainly glad Alexys is doing better, she has gone through a lot in the past year or so.
Cathryn, you all will be in our prayers, wishing you both well.
Hey, Cathryn, praying for Alexys and for you. There is nothing scarier for a parent than deathly danger for a child. Thanks for letting us know. Sure glad to hear that she is improving. Let us know when you have time, but we will be praying either way and understand if you get too wrapped up in caring for her to post for awhile.
Wow...thats got to be a load on you. We'll be praying and waiting for ya both.
We'll keep you all in our prayers. She's a tough little gal, so she'll pull through this just fine.
Prayers on the way from our house. Keep us posted on her progress.
Thought's and prayers to you and yours

Sorry to hear Cathryn.
Prayers sent for a quick recovery.
OMG Cathryn! :sad:
Sure praying for you all! :wink:
thank you, everyone, i appreciate ypur prayers for her..it means alot to me.
the Doc just came in and they are releasing her this afternoon.
she'll be on 21 days of an antibiotic and will be seeing a couple specialists up here in Morgantown but shes well enough to go home, they say.
i guarantee you i will be watching her like a hawk for ANY sign of trouble. im still worried about her... you dont come that close to losing a child and not have it profoundly affect yopu.
again, thanks guys.
Thanks for the update! Keep us posted...... and we will keep her in our prayers....as well as her mom.....
Cathryn,
I am really sorry to read this about Alexys. She sure has been fighting her battles with sickness and I am sure that there is no one more ready for her to be done with all of it than you. Mom's worry when there isn't any need at all and when there is they put on a good face and are all messed up inside - or at least all the ones I know do. So my prayer will be that Alexys will get back to normal real soon so that you too can return to normal.

ty to everyone who said a prayer for Alexys.
she went back to school today so we'll see how she makes out.
she is definitely feeling beter but she still tires easily.
she has an appoi9ntment wednesday with her new pediatrician in Parkersburg and an appointment with a Pediatric Pulmonary Specialist and an Imunologist at the WVu Childrens Hospital.
i feel confidant that theyll be able to find out the true root of her illnesses and get her feeling better soon.
Please continue to remember her in your prayers, id appreciate it.
Sounds like we're headin in the right direction. :congrats:
Thats good news :eyebrow:
Bless her heart
