We are on our way to the ER with Peanut. I cannot get his temp down and he is VERY sick. Please say a prayer for us. He really frightens me when he gets this sick...because he gets bad very quickly. I feel like he is battling bronchitis...but will know more in a bit!


I'm not gonna cry...I'm not gonna cry...

oh, Vanessa... sending you all a great big hug
and the strength to get through this chapter in Peanut's exciting life.

Hoping this is something easily cured by the people who know...

Peanut is in my prayers. Let us know how he is when you can.

Vanessa,
Praying as I type, it is so scary when they are ill... all will come out well...

awwww vanessa that I'm so sorry to hear that peanut is sick! I'll be sending prayers up in hopes that he gets well very soon.

I called Vanessa awhile ago...she's still not home.

Cindy

Poor little Peanut, he's such a cutie---I hope they fix him up in no time...until I hear he's better I'll keep praying....

I called Vanessa before my shower not home still. Left message to call no matter the time.
Praying for our forum nephew and his Mama and Daddy.
Jimmy

Still nothing from Nessa? Geesh I hope they're all okay

Thank you thank you thank you ALL!!! I have no idea what I did before I had all of my garden family to rally around us in such times as this.
Baby Peanut has pnuemonia. His temp was 103.3 when we got to the hospital..it was 105.4 45 minutes later. They started an IV (which by the way is real fun on a 2 y/o ) and ran antibiotics through him cautiously. Had we waited another day...he would have been critical...things hit him hard and fast bless his heart. They kept him 7 hours, finally got the temp down and watched him a bit longer. With my being a nurse, and him being well know at Children's Hospital...they usually let me decide if I want to bring him home or not....so I optes to bring him home...he will rest better here and we are close enough now that should I need to...I can have him there in 15 minutes (or less)
He is completely exhausted and is sleeping now... I will have night duty tonight...I will have to keep a close eye on him because he has an adverse reaction to many medications. So, once we are over that hump...I think the antibiotics will kick in quickly.
I just have to tel you that Children's Hospital here..is like a little corner of Heaven...they are WONDERFUL...absolutely wonderful. I am thankful we are closer now...that gives me great peace of mind.
Again...I thank you all for your thoughts & prayers....that is the one thing that carries us through these times! Thank you for the sweet...comforting messages on our phone as we returned home. I am Blessed to call you all my family! And am so thankful that Mr. Bill had the insight and an idea for a place that would bring us all together! Yep//another sappy night for me!!! I love you all!!!!!

Vanessa,

though i d look if you came back before i went to bed,thankful i did;i know it s gonna be a long night but before you know it you ll have a little peanut all well and healthy.

with your good care and love everything s gonna be fine you ll see.

vanessa - i hope your night was uneventful. we are thinking of you over here in israel too and praying for a quick recovery. it is so scary to see your kids get so sick, but peanut is on his way to feeling better
give him a kiss from us

Vanessa- Hope peanut gets better soon. Give him a

Thank you all so much...you cannot believe how I tear up...sniff sniff...when I read these posts that are so precious to my heart! I wish I could give every one of you rthe biggest hug!
I have to give the antibiotics time to kick in...as a nurse I know that...as I mother my heart is breaking to hear him breath...it sounds pretty awful right now. but, so far his temp is not as bad as it gotyesterday. You all can be assured I have one eye on him every minute. all of our children our very special...but Taylor is an extra special baby for us! I wish you could have seen how retarded I looked last night....since the move we needed to change our emergency contact person to Darin since he is now the closest. When she asked the relationship to Tayloe, I got this very bizzare (stupid actually) look on my face. Although we refer to him as "Uncle Darin" because of the HUGE (25 yr) age difference..he is actually Peanut's brother. The attendent got a pretty good laugh out of my expression! And Darin will as well! A lot of times he will say to Peanut.."come to Uncle Brother Darin..."
Sorry for the rambling...my one eye that isn't on the boy is very sleepy!

Vanessa glad your home thanks for letting me know. I was awake off and on thinking I heard the phone we all worry so much about you and Peanut he is outr boy too. Being the forum nephew we all love him as well as you. Hope you rested some last night andf he is much better today. Never hesitate to call me any time of ever you need me I will do my best to do what is needed. Still praying hard for you all.
Jimmy

Me, too!
I even woke up once thinking it was ringing, but I was just dreaming it.

Please kiss the Peanut for me, Vanessa.

Cindy

so glad you listened to your instincts! still pryaing for you and him both
