I neglected to praise the Good Lord above and let my awesome friends know that little Jesse is now better. Not 100%, but more like 98% there. The medication the doctor prescribed for his bacterial infection was really strong and 'yucky' as little
Jess referred to it. It caused him to vomit three different times and also has a side affect of diarrhea, so it's coming out both ends....isn't that fun? He's still taking the med (it's for 10 days) but just after the first day of him taking it we saw a HUGE improvement with his illness and even his behavior.
His ears don't have the gunk (
boogers) in them any longer and he's not needing the breathing treatments at all. He missed all last week of preschool so he was a little shy about going back this morning, hiding behind my legs, playing the 'shy' boy, but eventually he settled into his classroom. His lead teacher wasn't there, as she is sick herself, so now we are praying she gets better soon. I just hope that things don't circulate within the classroom and little Jesse to come down with something else in the near future.
Praise God that he is healthy and is doing well now. He watched me mow the grass (after all that flooding rain we had, our yard had a healthy growth sprout!) and edge the front and back yard and then blow it all with the 'blower' today, which I love doing. I know kinda weird for a girl, but for me I love to view it as good exercise and plus it takes a big burden off of my husbands shoulders. After I finished that little Jesse and Hannah were playing around in the 'freshly mowed grass' on their playground equipment that we have in the backyard. It was a nice sunny day today so it all worked out well for them.
Thank you all for your prayers over little Jesse. I was very worried for a bit because he usually does not seem to get sick, and if he does it is usually handled with just the basic home
children's medications like Children's Tylenol or a warm bath; something minimal. But this illness hit him really hard so we were all a little 'taken aback'. So again, thanks for all your prayers and concerns. You are all very sweet and very thoughtful.
So glad he's doing better. It's never fun having sick kids- especially when it's unusual and you're worried about them.
ReplyDeleteNow go get some sleep!!
That is an answer to prayer...hope he is 100% tomorrow:)
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear your little guy is on the mend, Sarah!
ReplyDeleteWe had a little foster guy who's gone now--turns out we loved wiping away his boogery nose and drying his crying eyes. It's a difficult but amazing time when a parent simply gets to tend to every dot and tittle of a child's existence. I wish I had that full time.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless you and your family
Sorry, was meaning to comment on this one, but things have been rather hectic lately.
ReplyDeletePraise the Lord for hearing and answering everyone's prayer's for your son's return to health. It is so hard to watch our kids go through stuff like that.
So wonderful to see your kids playing together in the mown grass outside. (Hey, you want to mow my lawn too? LOL. I'm allergic to grass so I get a mowing company to do it for me... :)
