When we got home from the hospital on friday Jacob started complaining
of a headache. It was more of a "mom my head hurts" and then I would
say something like ok go lay down and off he would go and play and act
normal. So I didnt think anything of it. And then Tuesday night him
and Tyler were laying down in the front room watching tv and I hear him
scream and start to cry. I look over and his head is on the ground. So
I tell him to walk to me. He did and I asked him what was wrong. he
told me that his head hurt so bad. Tom and I thought he was getting a
migraine so I told him to go lay down in bed. He went right to bed and
layed there for about an hour. Then he was fine after that. An hour
later I noticed Tyler was already asleep on the couch and Jacob was on
the chair with a blanket covering his body and the pillow over his head.
I figure he got another migraine and he was trying to keep the light
and sound away. So we woke him up and when we did I asked him if his
head still hurt. It did so I gave him some tylenol. He went to bed and
didnt wake up all night. In the morning I asked him if his head hurt
and he said it did. But then he said "I cant go to school...but I can
go to scouts." So I figured he was faking and I sent him off to school.
About 9 am I get a phone call from the lady in the front office and
she said that Mrs Bergman said that he started to get a headache and he
just was not acting like himself. He started to get really pale so she
was going to take him across the hall to lay down on the couch. When
she was walking him over there he passed out in her arms. So they had
to call the fire department to come look him over. I arrived after the
fire dept was there and so they were already doing their checks on him
and trying to get him to be responsive. Jacob's blood pressure was very
low so they had to check his blood pressure standing up. When they had
him stand up he passed out again. So they decided that they needed to
call the ambulance to take him to the hospital.
So off we went
to PCH again. The first doc came in and checked him over. It was just a
resident doctor. I have never had good luck with those. Usually they
have no idea what they are talking about and is always completely wrong
with what they say! He said that since they reported that there was
some tenderness in his tummy he would check it out himself. Jacob
started laughing and the doc was like oh hes ticklish. I had to tell
him no...that's how he says it hurts. Since Jacob doesn't feel pain
like we do its hard for him to know whats pain and whats not. And ive
seen that when Jacob laughs like that it usually means its painful.
Because of our recent history of just being admitted he wanted to get an
xray done of his belly and just see whats going on in there. So we
went to xray and a few min after we were done he came back and said that
from the looks of the xray he has MORE poop in his system than his
first xray showed BEFORE we did the clean out. I was actually mad
because I had thought they released us without having him all cleaned
out. And if they did that, then they were going to have momma bear
attack! But he said that he looked at the xray that they took when we
left and it showed there was nothing but air in his system. So from
Friday until Wednesday some how it all came back! Now im not a doc but
that just doesn't seem right. So he wanted to give Jacob an enema but I
said NO! He wont tolerate that and if there is poop still in his
system he needs to get it out again. So I told him to please call GI
and talk to them. So he called and talked to another doc in the
practice and they said to admit him. But they have no beds. SO they
sent us home and said they would call us when a bed is available. Last
time they did this they called us within a few hours. But so far we
have waited over 12 hours so far and nothing yet. So hopefully they
will call us soon! I assume they are going to have to do another clean
out with him. But not only do we need to get that taken care of but now
his headaches and what caused him to pass out. And then we have to
figure out how and why so much poop came back so fast. I actually got a
call from the GI last night around 5 as we were driving home from the
ER and they said that we never saw a nutritionist when we were there
last time and they were upset over that. We need to see one before we
leave the hospital this time. The nurses should of made sure we saw one
but they told me that it was not in the hospital orders...when it
clearly was. So this time we will also see one of those. Hopefully
this hospital visit wont be longer than the last. I was about to claw
my way out of there by the 2nd day!
