#43. This isn't going the way I expected

[kat727]

He is on Penicillian v-k twice a day. If he has a fever of 102, I am supposed to take him to the hospital, even if Tylenol can break it. He will most likely be taking them the rest of his life.

A couple things led us to go ahead and have his spleen taken so early,they wanted us to wait until he was 5. He had only gained 2 lbs between the ages of 2 and 3 and then he was sleeping sooo much! Once my parents picked the boys up to spend the night andS19 fell asleep in the car. He slept once they got to their house. He wouldn't wake up for dinner, he slept all the way through the night. He woke up around 9 the next morning.

D19 is pretty good. He doesn't have any extra fat,very muscular snd rarely sick. He isn't very tall, about 5'7". I blame some of that on his being sick. They found out he was sick at 6 months. Transfusions and blood work became routine over the next three years.
