So sorry to hear about Jimmy's daughter. I hope that after this she recovers nicely and is up and at 'em soon!!

Prayers to all!

My goodness, when it rains it pours for Jimmy...
Sending very big prayers still for them...all!!!!

Praying here always Jimmy!!

Prayers for everyone!

To give everyone an update. My co worker's son will not have to have surgery after all. They're going to leave his leg in the soft splint for another week to allow the swelling to go down, then they will be putting on a full leg cast. After 6-8 weeks, the full cast will go down to a 1/2 leg cast for another 3-4 weeks, then he will begin physical therapy on his leg to strengthen it for walking again. Thanks for all your prayers and good thoughts. Looks like he's going to be fine. He has even admitted that he has learned the hard way how not to cross a street.

A long road to recovery for him. Praying that everything heals up as it should.

An update on Christine and the unborn baby.

Although they removed the circlage on February 13th, she still haw not gone into labor, in spite of being 4 cm dilated and effaced. But they think that is a good thing because after all, her due date isn't until March 8th. So, they will induce her next Wednesday, on the 7th. Little Nathaniel is already 8 lbs about 6 ox, so he will be a big boy and not a premie as we feared.

Thanks for your continued prayers.

Sending prayers to you and your family Jimmy!!!

Please send some happy thoughts and positive energy our way. My daughter, Pixie, is 6 and a half years old and has been struggling with having random bouts of unexplained fever for about 4 yrs now.

Finally we have a dr who has paid her some attention and is trying to get to the root of what is going on. Her latest fever ranged between 99 and 103 (normal for her is about 96.7, so it was pretty high) and has lasted for the past 2 weeks. She has also missed that much time out of school - first grade!

So far, the dr's have ruled out ear infection, sinus infection, strep throat (2 tests at ped office), and kidney infection (1 test at ped office, 1 hospital test) and they are 99% sure it is not Leukemia or any type of Cancer or Lymphoma. They also are 90% sure it is not Kawasaki Syndrome (a blood vessel disease that causes heart aneurisms) but we won't be 100% until we get the echocardiagram results back (hopefully today!!)

She saw an infectious disease dr and he thinks it is Mono this time, but that doesn't explain all the other times (this happens at least once a month and usually almost all of September) so he ordered a couple more blood tests and they are looking for Lupus and something else.

She has had extensive allergy testing done too and nothing showed up there, as well as having her tonsils out because one ENT thought those might be a problem. Still no luck!!

I will update as soon as I know something. Luckily we have a WONDERFUL pediatrician who has called us at least once a day and always at night to see how we are doing and give us updates on all the tests- AND she ordered all the tests STAT, so they came back immediately.

And Pixie has been quite a trooper- 3 blood tests, a urine test, an hour long!!! echo-cardiogram and waiting rooms at 3 hospitals and 2 drs this weekend, as well as dr's poking and prodding and asking her questions and looking at her naked (she's getting to the shy age!)

Keep us in your thoughts please!
'Manda

Oh my goodness Manda, what a lot of such a wee thing to go through. Lys is that age and I can very well imagine what you are going through. Will be keeping you all and especially Pixie in my prayers.

I will keep your family and Pixie in my thoughts and prayers Manda!

Manda , Sweet prayers being said for Pixie, children show so much bravery during all the examines and test and sometimes holds Mommy's hand to make Mommy feel better Huh?

prayers for your pixie manda. and you too.

jimmy, continued prayers for you and yours

thank you diane...

all, please pray for our catlover. she is back in the hospital, and when i talked to her, i couldn't hardly understand her because she was so upset. i'll try for more news tomorrow

I am so sorry to hear that Jiffy, will be saying more prayers for her.

Prayers for all.....

Prayers for All in Need...........

Update on Pixie:
Echocardiogram was normal (sigh of relief!!)

Bloodwork was SO normal this time that dr doesn't believe it- says she can't jump from 14 to .6 in two days, so one of the tests probably had an error- we just assume it was the high one, which means essentially they know nothing.

Back to square one. They are running more blood tests in two weeks unless something else crops up in the meantime.

Temp was 99.4 again last night and normal this morning. Still having headache, but in high spirits. She's been back to school for 2 days now. (Thank goodness!)

Thank you everyone for thinking of us,
Manda

Manda,
Has she had her thyroid checked????

Or her pititary gland?

No, but that's a GREAT idea. Thank you. I always think I should get MINE checked because my aunt has thryroid probs, but for some reason I didn't think of it with her!

Ya'll have been so great (insert happy sappy tears here.) I have been really upset about all of this and that on top of the spring fever/winter depression and my OWN horrible sinus infection has really dragged me down these past two weeks.

I don't want them to find ANYTHING wrong, but it's so crazy how she goes from well to sick to well again so quickly- and usually her ONLY symptom is the fever. So nutty.

Thank you again!
Manda

Prayer continued for Catlover, and Pixie!!

Manda .. soo sorry to read of Pixie!! I would go with Thyroid and pituitary check as well.. My sister just recovered from thyroid cancer and it did affect body temps!! Well thoughts for you all!!


Well thoughts to catlover!!


And all that need them!!
