Owen's sick again. It started with a mild fever and a couple of nights with projectile, but on the way back from Houston he really started to go down hill. I took him into the Dr.'s Monday morning. Lately when I call, they all know who he is. All I have to say is, Owen Wall and they have me come in right away. I get to the window to sign him in and they don't even ask me his name...they recognize him by now. So off we went for another chest x-ray. The Dr. put him on albuterol and steroids and when the chest x-ray came back she called and put him on Augmenton. The results showed minimal change since the last three months. I couldn't believe it! This meant he's had pneumonia this whole time and it has not gone away! I got another call from my doctor, wanting me to take him to another specialist. This will be his fourth trip to a specialist...lets see, he has a neurologist, an ENT, a GI, and now a pulmonologist. I called and they got us in the next day. I was hoping that this would be "the one" who would figure this mess out. As we told our story to Dr. Dyson, he went out and came back in several times, re-did a chest x-ray and still was stumped. He said he was waiting for an uhhuh moment but it never came. So now we are trying to get him better and gathering all of his old chest x-rays from all the different radiologists so that in about two weeks we might be going in for another test. This one, he will be sedated for with an IV. I hate watching them try to put an IV in this little boy. It usually takes three or four tries. It makes me so sad to watch him go through so much pain. He's such a trooper though. He just lies still and cries. The paramedics are always saying what a calm baby he is. Anyway, they will be putting a scope down his bronchial tubes and checking out his vocal cords and if they need to, go down further to see whats causing the coughing, the swallow dysfunction and the pneumonia. Hopefully they will find the answer. Right now he is not wanting to eat again and is coughing when ever he puts something in his mouth. His fever has gone down, but not completely gone. You can tell he's not feeling well. He cuddles with me a lot more, so there are some good things coming from this. He's definitely a MAMA's BOY! Tonight we were watching American Idol and every time a song would come on he would go nuts. He loves music and loves to dance so I caught some on video. Its so funny! I love watching this over and over!
