Hailey Brooke
I thought I should update and let everyone know what is going on with our Hailey Brooke. She is doing good. She has her ups and downs which the doc told us would happen. She has Henoch-Schonlein purpura or HSP. It all started a couple weeks ago when she had major leg cramps in the middle of the night. She cried for 40 min. then she could hardly walk the next day. We had to carry her most of the time. This lasted for a week. We went to the doc 4 times doing blood work and trying to figure out what was wrong. Well Wends. John finally went with us to doc and they couldn't figure anything out yet. On the way home she all at once broke out with red spots and blotches on her legs. After we were home not even an hour she was in pain again arms, legs and this time severe stomach cramps. We waited and tried to comfort her but she started running fever also. So I called doc at home and he said NOW he knows what it is. HSP. He said if the stomach pains and fever did not let up in a couple hours to bring her in. Well they didn't and she started vomiting. So we went to hospital and they kept her. She was in lots of pain which was soooo hard to watch. It is our baby!! It was such a scary experience. God was with us and so many prayers were felt. FINALLY the pain was less and she could rest. Thank You God!! He is wonderful. Now she is doing well she is on Steroids for the inflamation of her joints and stomach cramps. She gets tired real easy and her blood pressure has been spiking some, but normal today again. Which doc said is expected because it is affecting her kidney's. Blood and protien in the urine. This is the main concern for the doc, because their is a risk of long term kidney damage with this virus. Doc told us today again that with this virus you think they are better and then they get worse again back and forth for awhile. But I know God can heal her and we will trust him and try to be a peace with all of this. God has a plan and we will accept whatever comes. Thank you for all your prayers and cards and gifts!! God Bless you all!
