This may be a little long but I want to write it down. This week started out as all weeks do. We went to church walked the halls with Kyle because he hates nursery. That night we went to seminary graduation. This is one of the things I love to go to. It is so amazing to watch all those awesome youths. Our friends took the kids for us which was so nice. Then we went to a birthday party for our niece. At the party I noticed Kyle's face. His right side was swollen. I thought that was weird. I thought maybe it was allergies because we have been having problems with allergies. So I gave him medicine and went to bed. Well in the morning his face was worse. I wish I took pictures. Just imagine that I could have put a tomato in his mouth whole. It was so swollen and under his chin was as hard as a rock. So off to the doctors we went. I was so worried I have never seen anything like this before. The doctor said he had infected lyph nodes. They gave him a double shot of antibotics and told me how serious this was. We were to watch close and if he got worse head to the er. Well in the morning he looked better so I called the dr and he started oral antibotics. Well by Tuesday night Kyle was getting so grumpy and coming down with a fever. I watched him Wednesday still fevers but we keep going. I was getting so worried I didn't know what to do. On Thursday morning he was worse it was starting to swell up again. He couldn't turn his neck and he won't drink anything. So I called the dr and they got me in. I stopped by my friends house because I was a wreck. I completely lost it. I didn't know what to do and I was worried beside myself. She helped calm me down and off I went to the dr. At the dr he took one look at Kyle and said what er do you want to go to. I decided on Primary Children's Hospital because I knew they would be good. I picked up Bryan called the school to tell Bryanna where to go and made the drive. When we got here they put an iv in. That was really hard to get that into him. I am so glad that Bryan was there to help hold Kyle. Then we did a CT scan. They could see bubbles of fluid starting to build up but they weren't seal off yet. When they seal off and with a great amount of fluid then they have to do surgery. So they admitted Kyle and started antibotics through an iv. They put him on two different kinds of antibotics. One was given once a day and the other one every 8 hours. I have never been so worried about my kids before.
With all this happening I so wished my mom was here to help me. I know she would have held my hand and been for me. I am so grateful to have my sweet husband with me. He was such a big help. So over the course of a few days he is looking so much better. The swelling is coming down and he is starting to feel better again. They are doing oral making sure there is no reaction and then we will go home. We still have to watch him close and see the dr to make sure everything is good. I am so glad to see him better. In the middle of this I couldn't believe that my baby could get so sick and get so bad so fast. It was so hard seeing him hurt so bad. He is such a sweet kid and I love him so much. The nurses at the hospital are great there is one male nurse that was great for Kyle. Every time he came in he would have cars in his pockets. Kyle learned really fast that he would get a new car. He even got Kyle to smile which was huge. Before this he would cry every time they came in. I am grateful for the great people at primary childrens they have been so great for my family. I have learned so many things. One thing is faith. I have learned that faith is what get you through things that you never knew you could do. Second thing is prayer. What a powerful tool. I know all the prayers is what got us through so much. Third I am stronger than I thought. I thought I wouldn't be able to do it and I did do it. I will admit that I did it through many many tears but I did it. There are so many times this week that I have felt so many hands and arms hold me up. I am grateful for that and for all the family and friends that have helped me out by just being there. Here is hoping that things will go good at home and we get this little guy better. Thanks for being patient and I am so lucky for my sweet little boy.
