Prayers for my little Austin please :O(

15 years ago

He's in the hosptal tonight, they admitted him a few hours ago. DS and DIL noticed a boil looking spot on his butt on Friday and by that night it had gotten redder and hard like a lump. They took him into the urgent care and the doctor said it looked like a spider bite, cleaned it out and sent them home with an antibiotic. This morning he had to go back for a re-check and they had to clean it out again. My DIL brought him here and left for work. He was miserable and ended up with a 103.5 fever and throwing up. I called my son and he came home to take him in again. They ended up admitting him to give him an IV of antibiotics.The doctor came in and said it's a staph infection and tomorrow they will know which kind, but for tonight they will give him 2 antibiotics to treat both until they know for sure which one he has. The infection had started up his back also this afternoon. I am so worried about him We can't even go to see im until further notice because of his infection. Please say a little prayer for my baby!

Special prayers going up for lil' Austin.

Bad enough to have a little one in the hospital- but it has to be really, really tough not to be able to go see him or stay with him. Hugs 'n prayers for his Mom, Dad & YOU too!

As others have said, please keep us updated; we care.

Prayers are going out for Austin, and all of you. He'll get better, it's just finding the right antibiotic.

Little Ikea Kitchen Feedback Please :o)

Comments (22)
Thanks, everyone. :o) @lisa a: I don't see eating mostly fresh fruits & veggies, sprouted nuts & seeds as a restricted diet. Since we have multiple food allergies/intolerances in our family, I see it as an allergen-free diet. (Americans' staples are mostly known allergens: milk, wheat, peanuts . . . ;o) We've done it before, and getting back into it now feels really good to me. It's like years are falling away from my "real" age, and I'm getting some life and energy back. Love that. I will have a goodly-sized toaster oven, so I can occasionally bake a good gf/allergen-free cake for celebrations. :o) @bmorepanic: (Love your username! lol) Thanks so much for your feedback on the marine ranges. That's really useful. I was thinking of one or two of these induction plates (or the commercial version), and if that didn't work, I'd get a two-burner ceran top electric cook top much like the induction cooktop you linked to. We're wiring sufficient for any contingency, so it's a possibility. And thank you for the heads' up on the window trim. We're planning on using 1x material, so it'll be 3/4" thick. I'm thinking I can put a bumper of some kind on the wall up near the top of the window trim where the cab door would hit it. My main concern right now is figuring out how to make sure the right-hand door on the wall cab next to the pantry cab will open cleanly. I think I have 1" to spare, but would hate for that to be too snug to work. Oh, the devil is in the details . . . I've been rethinking the rail systems, and will still get them, but am not exactly sure where I'll be putting them. I'm just wholly smitten with the fintorp line, and it's fun rustic vibe. The metal pails just make my heart go pitter patter (which is kind of shameful, since I know there are much bigger things to worry about in the world . . . but I like taking pleasure in my surroundings, so it can't be all bad, right?) A pot rack is a GREAT idea. I can totally do that with the ceiling . . . just have to adjust the length of one of the hanging chains. Oh, hooray for getting the pots out in the open where I don't have to nest them! Of course, they don't HAVE those in the kitchen planner (bah), but I can adapt. @aliris19: I'm thinking about putting a shelf above the bedroom door (on the left, by the fridge), so that could add even more function there. I'm also considering an awesome, huge clock. K, here are some fun shots of today's mods: Living room side, with upper cab: Bedroom side. (And don't worry . . . it looks like those cabs are kissing the default 96" ceiling, but the measurements all work out in my math. I'm going to call Ikea and ask about that one, though. The 88" pantry cab shouldn't be 96" tall, right?) Living room side without upper cab (which is really calling to me, as I feel like I'm going to do most of my prep on the peninsula and in that corner (where the outlet for the burner and the toaster oven will be), and I hate working with an upper cab in my face. I could handle a pot rack up high, near the opening to the living room, though.

How sweet! He's checking out things in that room & trying to get smiles instead of worried looks on faces in hopes they'll finally let him out so he can get back to his regular business. Thanks for letting us see how well he's coming along. Suzi

Special thoughts and prayers for Austin and (((hugs))) for the family.

Are they sure it's not a spider bite? My GS got bit by a brown recluse spider a couple months ago and besides the antibiotics, the DR. prescribed a nitroglycerine patch one daily for 3 days. She said it was a very unorthodox treatment and she knows it works as she was bit by one and her DH searched the internet for anything concerning it and found this information and she has used it with much success on several patients in the last several years.

Hopefully this is not a spider bite and the staph infection clears up quickly.

Here is a link that might be useful: brown recluse spider

My GD had the same thing at 6 months and altho it looked like a spider bite it was MRSA which apparently is becoming more common. Antibiotics are what was needed, and it took a while to heal. best wishes to him

Sending extra special thoughts out to little Austin and all who love him.

I know that my story won't be much comfort right now, but my youngest daughter when she was a toddler had several bouts with staph infections, so your second sentence about a "boil looking spot" sent up red flags to me. That is always how her infections started. After the first one, we learned to get her to a doctor and insist that it was not an insect bite, etc. She did wind up in the hospital several times and with IV antibiotics, and was fine in a few days.

I am so sorry that this little guy is suffering now and his family are having this worry.

Thank you all so much, it feels great to see all of the prayers and good thoughts here!

OJ, he is 15 months and was in pain all week end. It was pretty sore and he walked like a little cowboy! Yesterday he didn't walk at all, just stood there and his little legs were shaking. Poor thing! I cried right along with him wish I could have taken is pain too.

The doctor says it is from bite of some sort and assumes it's a spider, as of last night. they will know more of the kind of staph infection today after the test results are back. My niece did mention MRSA to me last night and said my nephew had it about 2 years ago. I looked it up online and it does sound just like what I've read. Mommy stayed with him overnight...they only let one parent stay :O( My son will go up at 6:00 this morning. I'm hoping we'll get to see him today too. This is killing me to not see him. The last time I saw him was when my son rushed him out of here so sick, not a good picture left in my mind!

Thank you all again, I'll update later today when I hear something.
