Arya Ebrahimi Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 Hang in there. I wish I could be there to help. Feel free to call on my mom, I'm sure she has time to help if asked.

slngsht Posted October 17, 2007 Author Posted October 17, 2007 Poor kid, will add him ot my prayer list. Are they removing them? They are trying to not remove them. I guess jury is still out on that.
BusaLoco Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 It absolutely rips your heart out watching your kids suffer. Here's wishing your son a speedy recovery and you a good nights rest.
locost7018 Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 My thoughts are with you. I have a 17 and a 14 year old so I know what you are going through, Russ
solder_guy Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 My older son, Cameron has been in the hospital for 3 days now, fighting an infection and abscess in his tonsils. :blueangel: Peritonsilar abscess is a concern .. often requiring surgery to incise and drain. I hope that he gets to feeling better soon .. may he enjoy ice chips and maybe soon ice cream! :blueangel: :grouphug: Rob
slngsht Posted October 17, 2007 Author Posted October 17, 2007 well, so far antibiotics seemed to make an improvement at first, but temps have not stopped. Just did another CTScan, and abscess is still there. waiting for doc opinion on next steps

locostv8 Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 Mazda Hope he gets well soon. I had tonsils out at 2 from what I understand it is much worse as age progresses. Jim
AK Seven Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 I had mine removed when I was 5 to solve an ear drainage issue that would cause constant ear infections. It hurt for a day or two after the op, but I had the Road & Track World's Fastest Cars special issue waiting for me in my room (Thanks Dad), so hospital time passed quickly. And did I mention ice cream for breakfast, lunch and dinner? Children are much more resilient than you think... wishing all of you a speedy recovery!
WestTexasS2K Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 So sorry to hear about your sons illness. I had mine taken out at 6 dont remember much about it. I do remember eating all the ice cream I could hold down. My wife still has hers but they give her trouble all the time. We will wish him a quick recovery and add him to our prayers. Loren
slngsht Posted October 18, 2007 Author Posted October 18, 2007 Well, things were really looking up today. Last night after a 2nd CTScan, they decided to change antibiotics, and he responded really well. Temps went away. So we were really hopeful about his progress. But about half an hour ago, his temps started climbing again :banghead:
11Budlite Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 Mazda, Hope Cameron starts feeling better soon and you can get back to a "normal" family life. We'll keep you guys in our thoughts and prayers... Hang in there, Bruce
xflow7 Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 Mazda, Very sorry to hear about this. It's frustrating when it feels like 3 steps forward, 2 steps back. Will be thinking of you and your family and hoping for a speedy recovery for you son. Dave
slngsht Posted October 19, 2007 Author Posted October 19, 2007 thanks for the thoughts guys... I will keep you posted.
JBH Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Keep us up to date.
BobDrye Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 Maz: Been praying for your son, your Kurdish wife and you. We think a lot of you!
Arya Ebrahimi Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 Talked to Mazda and Cameron today and it sounds like Cameron is doing much better! He's up and about and his spirits seem pretty good. Mazda said they'll keep him till Thursday due to the IV, but they think he's made it past the worst of it. :) Just thought I'd let you guys know
