Another update for Matthew. He saw the doctor last monday, thursday and friday and called the doc on Saturday. He wasn't "sick enough" for the right diagnosis. By Saturday afternoon I knew he had more then a virus. Yesterday (Easter Sunday) Matthews fever rose to 105.2 degrees! Enough was enough! Ted and I ran him into the Goshen General Emergency Room and insisted upon a chest x-ray and an RSV test. I knew he either had pneumonia or RSV....and sure enough the chest x-ray showed pneumonia. Matthew is now on the correct medicine for his illness and on the road to recovery.
I want to take a quick moment to point something out. We love our doctor. We also know she is not with Matthew 24/7 like we are. Ted and I know Matthew inside and out. We know when something just isn't right. Doctors arent God, nor does my doc act like she is. There are limits on what doctors vs. parents know. I'm blessed with medicial knowledge and boldness to be stern and assertive when it comes to Matthews health. We pray one day he won't be labeled as a "special needs" child anymore. Thank you for all your prayers!
We give praise for the healing hands of the Almighty Physician. The will of God will not take you where the Grace of God can not keep you.
Stay Beautiful Within,
Erica
p.s. Matthews EGD surgery he was supposed to have last friday morning is being rescheduled for May. I'll post more at that time.
