For the past couple of days, Nicholas has
been feeling pretty yucky. Between the periactin and the nasal washes,
he has been having fun days. Last night he had a REEALLY bad nose
bleed – so bad that they called the doctor on call. He was passing huge
blood clots. The doctor said that the nasal spray and he washes had
obviously irritated an already inflamed nose so we needed to stop them
for at least the morning to give his nose a chance to heal. He also
said that if it started bleeding again and/or if it was worse – such as
running blood – to call him back.
About 30 minutes later, we were calling the doctor back. His nose
started bleeding again and it was dripping/running bleeding and he was
passing blood clots again. We put ice and pressure on it and it
finally clotted off and stopped. The doctor says that it was just
because of the irritation, to not blow it, and that he didn’t think it
was anything to be alarmed by because it was able to clot and stop.
They stopped the nasal spray and the nasal wash and the ENT docs
will be by tomorrow to look at his nose again. I hope not with that
camera thingy because that would be kind of crazy considering it would
probably make his nose worse and it probably would bleed again. The
pulmonary doctors are completely holding the nasal washes and sprays
and they told Nick that if he didn’t want to do them anymore he didn’t
have to – so of course he is not doing them anymore. Last night he
said that it really burned him.
He had a bleed today too but it was because he forgot that he was
supposed to avoid blowing his nose. It only bled a little before it
stopped. So we are going to talk to the pulmonary and the ENT doctors
tomorrow about his nose and his appetite – which is dropping off – to
see where we go from here. They are checking is blood sugars a little
more closely today to see if they could be the cause of his feeling
poorly. They don’t think that is the case but they want to cover all
their bases. I am still not sure when we will come home.
John went home today and Miranda is with Shawn and Susie Webb. Pray
for my family as we are still spread to the corners of our area. I
pray that God will heal Nicholas so we can go home soon, that John will
have peace at home and try to rest, and that Miranda will continue to
be satisfied where ever she goes. Thanks for the thoughts and prayers
and thanks for checking in today.
