Not again. I'm super stressed.

[GaleriaGila]

Absolutely, Beatrice.
Take care of yourself, too!

Hang in there!

You've made the best choice for your kid and feathered kid! I hope both get well soon!

And Leo stopped eating this morning. He's staying another night for tube feeding and 24/7 nursing care. We will touch base in the morning.

 

[Owlet]

Oh dear, I wish him luck and a speedy recovery. Sometimes during recovery things seem to get worse before they get better. I'm sure Leo will pull through, how could he not with such a wonderful parront waiting and worrying for him?

 

[GaleriaGila]

What Owlet said.

Thanks for the update, Beatrice. Hope tomorrow brings recovery and a better appetite. And your kid?

Scott, my son is doing okay. Seasonal allergies combined with powerful narcotics for pain control (bone disease, shoulder issue, awaiting surgery) depressed his respiratory system causing difficulty. Non drowsy antihistamines and steroids were prescribed and he's doing better today. We are pulling him out of school and putting him on hospital/home bound until after surgery currently scheduled for April 12.

 

[BeatriceC]

Leo still isn't really eating. They're probably going to keep him over the weekend to keep tube feeding him. We will make the final decision at close of business hours today.

Unfortunately, I have to go out of town. My oldest son has a bowling tournament in L.A., and he's always the one saying "don't worry about me, take care of my brothers, the birds, etc.", and he really needs some mom time. I'm going to leave MrC in charge here, with the birds and with my youngest son. Leaving Leo in the hospital is probably best, rather than sending him home on baby bird formula, which was another option we discussed. That just leaves MrC a little less to do as the only adult in the house.

 

[GaleriaGila]

Oh, man.
Well, y'all GO, TEAM LEO... and TEAM KID... all of you.

 

[Tsali]

Keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Good luck to your oldest son with his tournament.

You are a Super Mom! Hope your son awaiting surgery is comfortable and has a great outcome. Looking forward to Leo's appetite and general health improving by Monday.

Thanks. But not really Super Mom. Times like this though, it's a good thing that Middle Kid lives with their dad, so I know he's well taken care of an I don't have to stress about him. (MrC is not the kids' father. He has two of his own daughters, but my kids' father is my ex-husband).

Dr. J called back after I posted last. He's kinda stumped. He's going to change the antibiotic Leo is on and look into some other things, and hopefully figure out why he's not recovering as expected.

 

[Kentuckienne]

Wishing you the best. Have you seen The Big Lebowski? Good laugh for bowling buddies to watch together.

 

[BeatriceC]

No change this morning. No better, bit at least no worse.

 

[Scott]

Thanks for the update! Hopefully different meds will make a difference.

 

[SilverSage]

Thanks for letting us know. Fingers crossed.

Oh how awful, the whole way around...Deep breaths and positive energy.

"Dance like nobody's watching..."

 

[BeatriceC]

He's doing a little better today. The vet said he's eating more than he has been, though not enough to sustain himself, so he's going to come home on baby bird formula to make sure he's getting enough calories in spite of not eating. We will go pick him up in an hour or so.

 

[GaleriaGila]

He'll feel better at home.
Thank goodness.
