Rylan in the hospital :-(

I wrote this post on microsoft word while still at the hospital yesterday to save me soem time updating when we came home ..

Rylan is sick
Sunday night after the dedication Rylan woke up sick with a temperature of 100.2 We gave him some Tylenol and put him back to bed…At 6:30 am he woke up and I got up to feed him and he didn’t feel too warm to me and he was just going back to sleep and not wanting to eat so I put him back in his bed but he didn’t want to sleep there and made some grunting nnnnnnn…… sound so I got him up and went to change his diaper he was acting like he was having some pain I took his temp and it was 99.6 (I took all his temps under the arm)I decide to give him some Tylenol and we went into the living room
I tried nursing him some more he just wanted to nap so I held him and let him nap, at about 8 am I took his temp again and it was 100.9 I thought that was really weird and decided to call the doc soon as they opened at 9 am I got a appointment for 11:00am We were late because for some reason I was thinking the appointment was for 11:15 so we had to wait in the waiting room till 12:00 finally we got in and the nurse took his temp and it was 102.something under his arm and 103.something in his bottom …
He was due for his Tylenol at 11:30 am but they didn’t want me to give it till the doctor came in…….. Well she (not my doc, we’ll call her NP doctor ((nurse practionar)) gave some Tylenol to him right away and checked him out, everything on him looked great his ears, throat, lungs heart , but he was clearly not feeling well
She sent us across the hall for blood work and that was a nightmare….. The blood draw girl tried to get blood from the inside of his elbow and was digging around in the there after few minutes I told her to stop and that I wanted to go to the hospital and get his blood drawn there where they probably had more experience with babies she said one of the nurses from the docs across the hall has lots of experience she went to get her but she wasn’t there…….
One of the doctors said he was good at it so we were given the option of letting him try we weighed it and decided to let him try ** That was a mistake If you ever have to get babies blood drawn go to the hospital ** he tried in Rylans wrist for a few minutes and nothing so Randy said stop that’s enough so the doctor stopped in between all these blood draws I was able to hold and comfort Rylan and would just get him settled down and they would try again ……..It was so awful my poor baby should not of been put through all this I will never be using that lab again I should of known better ……….The doctor (by the way not our regular doctor our doc was gone We’ll call him “blood draw doctor”) asked if we would let him try again, He was sure he could get the blood if he just had one more chance so we said ok he was digging in there worse that the first time Randy told him to stop again.. Rylan had had enough and he needed a break we were all in tears ……..At some point in all this Rylan got his finger poked so they could do a CBC we finally headed back home about 2:30 Rylan had a pee bag on and we were supposed to bring it back in soon as he peed..
We got back home and waited for him to pee…After all we have been through the thought of something being wrong with Rylan was just horrible

Finally Rylan started grunting and Randy said I think something is happening and sure enough Rylan peed it was about 4 pm The pee was very very cloudy and I was thinking oh this is good its just a urinary track infection I had no idea they are so dangerous in little babies…
Randy left to take the pee in and the NPdoctor called while he was gone To let us know that his CBC blood work was looking fine and Rylan probably just had a virus but since his temp was so high that he should be seen in the morning she also said he was a bit anemic **We later learned that all babies are anemic at this age and its normal at least that’s what “blood draw doctor” said*** I let her know that Randy had just left to bring in the pee sample and told her it was really cloudy she said it could still be nothing and she would call back soon as they got the results from the pee and transfer me to make the appointment the appointment was for 10:40 am…

I talked to Randy and told him Rylan was anemic so he went to wal-mart to pick up some vitamins for me.. We thought Rylan might be anemic because of me almost bleeding to death after I had him and maybe it was affecting my breast milk ……..

Randy then came home and then about a half an hour to a hour later the N.P. doctor called she said yes it was a UTI and I was getting ready to say thank Goodness but before I could get it out she says “You need to come back to the office right NOW this was very serious and they would be admitting Rylan to the hospital…

OMG it was so scary so we rushed right back to the doctors office and blood draw doc tried to get a cathader to get a better urine sample to cultureof course he couldn’t get any pee out he used a little syringe to try to suck the pee out No luck so he taped it on as best he could and sent us over to the hospital to get checked in ……..
The nurse tried to get a IV started but had no luck (we had her put numbing cream on 20 minutes before but it didn’t help much he still screamed )She wanted to try his foot we said he has to have the numbing cream first they were not real pleased about that but agreed so they put the cream on and sent us to our room ..We found out that he was only going to be getting the antibiotics foor 3 days every 24 hours he gets 2 shots but the nurses each do one leg and give the shots at the same time …We decied he had been poked enough with no success that we didin’t want him to get the IV unless he was dehydrated or some thing …They are mixinbg the antibiotic with lydocain so it dosen’t hurt as bad he cried for about a half an hour the first night and onlt about 5 minutes if even that the second night and he hasn’t had the shot yet tonight………
He is feeling better and had an ultrasound we are waiting for the results of that and the bloodwork and urine culture …….
