Zeke's Journey
Hello again friends.
I was originally so excited to update about how well Zeke is handling his congestion and not having any vomiting. But then last night happened 😭
He seems to have picked up a virus and his congestion is thicker and worse. He has a fever.
After waking up and throwing up many, many times (primarily mucus), we decided to go to PalmsWest ER bc we were concerned about his bicarb levels.
Imagine our surprise when his levels were at 20! What? This is crazy. His baseline is 22 and he would be admitted at a 15. So I want to take a moment and praise God for this blessing. That means we were not admitted and are back home.
But we need prayer. Jon and I slept 1 hour last night and are exhausted emotionally, physically and mentally. Poor Zane got dragged out of bed at midnight to go to the ER. Not fun. This is truly one of my heartaches as I wish my mom was still available. What a blessing it would be to have her come stay with Zane so we don’t have wake him up and take him to the ER. But, that’s not our story. And on days like this, it’s really hard for me to accept that.
Zane was a champ though and had a really great attitude- another huge blessing.
Zeke is slowly recovering from his illness but we could use some prayers as we are not able to lay him down flat yet, which is the only way he will sleep. Please pray that by tonight he can sleep flat.
And please pray for answers. If we didn’t have this bicarb issue, we would have stayed home bc we feel confident managing his symptoms. But the bicarb is like an invisible threat that we never can catch at the right time.
