Is it just mason

I just need to vent...
Mason was suppose to get his g-tube on Monday...FINALLY. Well this weekend his secretions started looking a little yellow but he had no fever, did well with feeds, and was fine. So we go in on Monday and mentioned it to the surgeons and they thought maybe we should wait incase mason has something (which he always has something). And of course Ronnie jumps on the band wagon and all of a sudden I get out voted. Well, turns out the boy does have something...guess what it is. Another one of those damn random infections you get from being in the hospital all the time. I look it up on the internet and it says the peak colonization age in children is two. ANOTHER INFECTION...THAT HAS PROBABLY COLONIZED. Mason is always getting something and they always say "Oh this is something we often see in kids who are chronically ill" or "you get that when you spend a lot of time in the hospital, I probably have it to". I really wanted him to get that g-tube because trying to get that tape of his face for his ng tube is fankly my idea of hell!!! I hate making him cry and he fights and throws up!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know it is better to wait on surgery if you have an infection but I feel like these damn bacterias are personally out to get me!! Is Mason the only one who gets these random things???? I hate it!

You sound like you really need a or maybe a large , or maybe just a sledge-hammer for Ronnie? Just kidding, but it conjures up an amusing image.

I'm sure Mason isn't alone in picking up all sorts of infections in hospital - they're nasty places full of sick people with different bugs....oh, hang on, Angus was one of those.....but you know what I mean. I don't know if it will all work out fine, but Mason has fought through some pretty impressive odds so he must really want to be here. I'd bet on him rather than the bugs TBH.

I hope that he gets his g-tube soon and that it makes life far easier for him and you. It is lovely to see them with no tape on their faces, and not having to replace that NG which they keep yanking out because they hate it, is wonderful!!

Hang in there babes,

I'm sorry that you are having to wait. I hope Mason is better soon and the g-tube is in place before you know it!

i hope he can get his tube in real soon. i know what you mean about infections. seems like everytime kaylee comes home its some new infection she picks up while in there. i am getting paranoid now. like my house is one big giant sespool of bacteria. i got stupid MRSA. i thought it was spider bites but now i researched it and it looks the same as online. damn it. now i keep thinking about my boys, what will they get. i came out of shower and Max had red mark on his lip, my sister said it was probably a toy hit his face. but i keep thinking infection. ok, now off my rant. good luck

I hope this new infection clears up soon, and he can have his surgery. Hang in there! Lots of hugs.

Hope he's soon over this infection and can get his g-tube, it is so much better than the NG.
