Hello, we are trying to raise money to use for medical expenses and time off of work that my husband and I had to miss to be with our son.
Our son Isaac got sick with what we expected to be the flu on the Friday after thanksgiving. It had been passed around the house everyone else got better taking DayQuil. Unfortunately he didn’t, so on Monday we took him to kdmc to be seen after a 4hr visit and tons of test including an chest X-ray that sent him home with a diagnosis of flu A. The next day we got his prescription of tamiflu because the day before it wasn’t available at any local pharmacy. By Wednesday night he was coughing up a little bit of blood. I contacted his pediatricians after hours physician. He said as long as his 02 stat and breathing was fine he would be okay until morning and he gave us an 8:00 appointment to get a chest X-ray. The next morning while at the appointment to get his X-ray, he started having labored breathing and his o2 stat dropped in the 80’s. He was rushed to the hospital by ambulance where he had to get a chest tube for fluid on the lungs. Then he was sent to Cabell Huntington Pediatric ICU by helicopter. His diagnosis is flu, pneumonia, sepsis, and strep. He has a long road of recovery ahead of him. As of today they are talking about possible surgery on left lung to clear it out where pneumonia sit up and he now has fluid on the right lung. We would appreciate if you keep us in your prayers and thoughts. Thanks
