Thanks to everyone who has had us in your prayers. Eli was diagnosed with pnemonia May 14, 2010 at Scottish Rite. We stayed till May 16th and now thanks to all the prayers, Dr's, nurses and the good Lord he is feeling much better. For anyone who doesn't know the story...Eli was taken to the ER in Ellijay(May13) and they diagnosed him with an URI...he was complaining of trouble breathing and saying his heart hurt. That night he woke up crying saying his heart hurt..not just a normal cry, I knew it was serious so I called his peditricain and they said once his fever came down he'd be fine(the fever was making him have pains-this didn't quite sit rite w/ me) the next a.m. he still had a high fever and was throwing up so I took him to the Dr. and they said he had some sort of virus...I was frustrated by this point. Later that day I saw a posting on Face Book about how ticks were really bad this year and that someone's grandbaby had rocky mtn. fever ...this brought back to my memory that Eli had a tick on his head abt 2 wks earlier. I called the Peditricain and they has us go to the ER again this time for a blood test for lyme disease and some other tests. Abt an hour later they called and said we had to bring Eli to the Dr. office that his wt. count was high(suppose to be1 and his was 36 verry high) they weren't sure what was wrong they thought it may be his appendix so they sent us to Scottish Rite for a catscan..with that they found nothing so they drew more blood to make sure the #'s were correct and they were the same as at the ER is Ellijay finally they did a chest x-ray found it... pnemonia! So we stayed a while in Scottish Rite and I thank God that I was remined of the tick, the good Lord knows just how to do things. I am thankful that we have such an awesome God!
