Sorry I f I left you hanging with that last post. It was a scary weekend. I am sure kelli would think that is an understatment. Kinsey is my sister, Kelli's youngest. She is not even 2 yet and has spent a good portion of those 1 1/2 years sick with something that noone can figure out what it is. She has had a HORRIBLE rash. when I say rash..well...it doesn't really even begin to describe it. You can head over to her blog and look a few posts back to see what I mean. Fortunatly that has cleared up. But, last week kinsey was sick with what her Dr. diagnosed as the flu withought doing an actual test. She was on Tamaflu but got worse. Thursday she had slept all but two hours of the day. So about 20 hours and her diaper was dry. So, Kelli called the nurse line or Dr. I am not sure which and the told her to take her to the ER. There, they thought cancer was a possiblity but it was ruled out. Still scared us all to death. They kept her overnight. But Friday she took a turn and things went down hill. i don't have all the specific numbers and all the medical details. But, her blood level should have been at 11 and it was at 4.6. Because of this her heart was having to work a lot harder than normal and they were fearing cardiac arrest. this is when I posted the last time. We all ran straight to the hospital to be with them. When I saw her she was so white. I cannot even explain how what she was. Her lips were even white and she was just lathargic. So sad to see her that way because she is the exact opposite. She enede up having two blood transfusions and was finally released on Sunday. The scary thought is they still do not know why this happened. she appointments with Dr.'s to try to find out. It could happen again. So, as of right now she isn't completley better but she has improved. We still need prayers an positive thoughts. Shawn was laid off last week and Kelli is in school. Things are tough. I know they will get through this, but I wish they could win the lottery or somehting. So, they would at least not have to stress about money and could just be with eachother.
