Thanks For The Prayers.........
To those who prayed for my little boy I want to say Thank You.....Monday afternoon I got a call from the school nurse ,she was telling me that after lunch time on the play ground one of the teachers had brought Lee Jay to her because ,he looked deathly pale, Lee Jay has ADHD and Asperberger's Disorder so he is naturally active and talkative ,he is normally a very verbal child and talks all the time without ceasing , he said knew something was wrong with him but, he just did not know it was serious enough to warrant telling anyone (his words) and the nurse could not get Lee Jay to tell her what was wrong with him(hardheaded youngin),so needless to say by the time the school nurse called me Lee Jay was already on the school bus and on his way home before I (flaming mad) was notified of this .
So I made him an appointment with the local clinic because ,the first thing I thought of was that he was anemic so I figured that we would get his blood tested we would get some medicine and be on our way back home (yeah right).Lee Jay got off the school bus and I noticed he was wlaking kind of slumped over and he got in the truck with me and, I said, "son does your stomach hurt?" and he said ,"yeah a little", so off we went to the clinic and they drew his blood and tested him and he did not have anemia ,but his white blood cell count was through the roof.The doc said since he was having pain in the location the he was that she wanted to make sure that he did not have appendicitis.
So off to Hattiesburg we went (because you would not take your dog to our local hospital) to the emergency room.After the CAT scan ,they said he had appendicitis and they gave him finnegran (sp) before the surgery so he would not get nauseous during the procedure but, unbeknownst to us he was allergic to it and he became catatonic and would not respond to us for about 15 minutes his vital signs were good but ,there was no verbal response and his eyes were bouncing all over the place ,when my son gets nervous about anything he tallks all the more ,that is his way of dealing with stressful things so when he would not respond we knew it was because ,he couldn't,myself my sister and Moma kept trying to get him to respond and while this was going on my Moma started to hyperventilate and was crying and screaming that she couldn't go through this again !!!(she has congestive heart failure), my son saw that something was wrong with my Moma and he came out of the catatonic state and out of the blue asked me "what's wrong?", needless to say Moma calmed down because,Lee Jay started responding again she told me afterwards that she just lost it and she said it was like , my lil brother dying all over again.But, we got passed that scare and they got him into surgery and got that nasty appendix out (thank God !!!) We got home this afternoon and he is sore but, Thank God he is okay....He is My Life and my reason for living I would be nothing without him ....Thanks Again for the prayers............Sherry.........P.S.sorry such a long post............
Sherry,
I am so sorry for yall going through this. I know that you were scared to death. You and your family have been in my prayers and that is where you will stay. If there is anything that I can do you just let me know. I'll be there in a heart beat. I'm just a call away.
Keep me posted on your little angel boy. Love ya, Tammy
Poor Baby!! I am glad he is ok. How old is he? The reaction to that medicine would have been enough to send me thru the roof. How scary! I could not even imagine that happening. I am very very happy that he is AOK and recovering well. Baby him alot momma -he has been a real trooper!!
I am glad your back!

I am so sorry you had such a scare, and that he had to go thru that. I am proud everything worked out good for you. I can not imagine having to see my child in a catatonic state!!!! Sounds like you dealt with it great though. I will continue to pray for you and son, and I hope he is back to his normal self quickly.
