July 2009 Moms

Good morning all of you beautiful people!!

Firstly I would like to thank each and everyone of you, if it wasn't for your sms'e, messages and phone calls I would have never being such a strong person with our whole ordeal!!

Let me begin by the beginning:

Tuesday morning I got up as usual at 4:30, checked Tyren and went downstairs to start getting everything ready for the day. I packed Tyren's school bag and everything.

At 5:30 the electricity tripped, for some reason, I think now it was God's way of letting me know something is wrong. Coz I knew if the power tripped the aircon and the radio will be off with Tyren.

when I walked into his room, he was lying in a big load of puke, it was brown and red. My heart nearly stopped. I grabbed him up and held him, he then shook his head and said "neee nee" and his body spasmed and he vomitted. first it was just vomit, but then by the third time he vomitted blood. I was histerical, Ipanicked phoned my mom and she told me to keep calm, I then phoned Cinds and she kept me calm while I dressed with Tyren lying on the bed looking at me, he just kept on saying" mamma" "myne mama" and then he would puke. I changed him into clean clothes, grabbed the baby bag and drove like a mad man to the hospital. He kept on puking all the way there

I wanted to cry so bad, but knew for my baby's sake I must stay calm, coz if Ipanic so will he. Hubby met us at the trauma unit. They gave him valoid supposotories, and monitored him, he kept on puking, then he started puking bright bright yellow. HE was admitted to the ward like 2 hours later.

The pead waited for us as we entered the ward, he immediately saw that Tyren went into shock, his body couldn't handle everything, and he was so badly dehydrated. He put him on a drip. They tried to get blood for tests asap, but Tyrens organs were collapsing and he was so weak and dehydrated they couldnt get blood, I sat stunned how the pumped and rubbed his arm to get blood, but it was like he didnt have blood, coz nothing came out. They put him adrenalin with a rehydrate drip. My baby kept on puking...

Only at 10am, after being on both the drips for severeal hours, they could get blood for tests. It was the most HORRIBLE thing ever, Tyren would be sleeping, then jump up, say "nee, nee" and puke, then reply "eina", and fall alseep again.

They told us the test results will be back later morning, then again late afternoon. After 5 Tyren started puking blood again. I lost it! I phoned the pead myself and asked himi what the hell is going on, and he said I am being impatient. I nearly lost it!!! He rpelied that Tyrens stumage lining ruptured from all the puking and hence the reason he is puking blood now again.

The pead only came to see Tyren at 7 that night again, luckily yhe puking stopped. They pumped my baby full of Valoid, he had like 6 valoid suppositories in a question of 7 hours.

Tyren was puking so bad that they moved us to a private room, as it was upsetting the other parents in the ward.

The pead just confirmed that Tyren has some kind of virus attacking his white bloodcells, they dont know what yet, until they get a stool sample. So we had to wait for his tummy to go. BUT becoz of everything that he puked, he didn't have anything in his tummy. I was holding my baby the whole time, I never let himi go.

that night I sat upright next to him.

so the next morning the pead came in, and confirmed that Tyren was allergic to pennisillin, he didn't pick it up, he put Tyren on Augmentin E600 the week before with this grommets to clear the bad infection. Tyren's body fought the poison in his body for 5 whole days, before his organs just couldnt anymore and he collapsed puking blood.

OK so they at least knew of of the faults, the continued the Steriods, adrenaline, rehydrate and other stuff as well. He had him on a internal feeding tube as well. coz he couldnt eat anything.

They weighed him the following day and he lost 2.7kg's. THe nurses got such a fright! The they upped the meds, coz he was still so weak.

Then friday morning the pead said I can take Tyren home if I take full responsibilty for him, and bring him in everyday for treatment! I was so happy my baby could go home, IT was terrible!!!

Seeing your baby so limp, pale, yellow, blue lips, eyes wanting to roll over, him puking over both of us.... IT was the most HELL experience in my life ever!!!

This morning my baby weighs 7.3kg's and is back to size 3 nappies, but he is getting so much better. He runs to me, hugs me and says "myne mamma". And my heart just swells at how wonderful God is for sparing my baby!!

Sjoe Marijke daai is hectic!! Die positiewe daarvan is dat jou pa nou nie meer gedreig kan word nie. Hulle se mos die wiel draai!

Morning girls

Just wanted to share since I told you all about it when it happened and you might be wondering what happened since.

The guy who threatened my father and our family was murdered last night after an argument with one of the MANY people he pestered, stabbed through the head with a garden fork. Not the nicest way to go and we really wish that it didn't have to end that way, but to tell you the truth - on one hand my heart skipped a beat when I heard and now I'm very relived since the last time we heard of him he threatened my father again.

Morning everyone!
