WE thought we were all done with the DR and MACEY but in our hearts we KNEW that we still had some roads to travel. THIS is the 6th month that her leg and foot are still swollen. Today she met with the infectious disease dr. at Blanks Children Hospital and he admitted they were more than stumped....they took more blood to see if anything had changed as far as the bacteria from "Cat Scratch..." and he told them that she actually could have gotten that bacteria anytime in her 6 years, and it was very very possible it has nothing to do with her foot and leg. He did send her home with 5 days of antibiotics....I guess even they are willing to try anything now. Maybe it will be that easy of a fix.
SO they told her mom and dad that the University and Blanks did not have the type of lymph dr. that Macey needs, and they are now checking for that endangered species of a DR. who is smart enough to figure out this little girl. They mentioned Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minnesota or the Children's Hospital in Kanas City KS. I wonder why there are no smart dr's closer to us.
We really just want Macey better and for the butterflies that live in all our stomachs to go away. We want to stop thinking negative dark thoughts and what we really really want is for our Macey to be well again. WE just don't know what else to say.
Deb and the pugs
We are praying for Macey, but bring her to Children's Mercy here in Kansas City, Missouri... they are THE BEST!!!!
ReplyDeleteWe all want that little girl better. So disheartening not to be able to find an appropriate doctor or get a definitive diagnosis and prognosis. Hope the antibiotics help....it would be wonderful.
ReplyDeleteHugs to all of you.
I thought the 'Drs' were actually getting somewhere! You must be so frustrated, how can there not be a specialist close enough for you to see IMMEDIATELY! Gosh, I'm getting so wound up, it must be dreadful for you. Lots and lots of loves and hugs from us. (wish the magic wand on Mum's desk really could do magic!)

DRATS!!!!!! I were SO hoping that that darn leg was better :( Have they thought about sending her to a physical therapist that specializes in lymphadema? That is what that had my Mom do after her breast cancer surgery to help with the lymphadema she developed. Just a thought, but I wanted to share.

Crikey ..... Mum and I were hoping for better news than this. We think of little Macey all the time. Such a worry for you all. Surely someone can come up with some answers. Big hugs to all of you.
ReplyDeleteWe will be thinking about Macey and hoping she gets better soon! We cannot imagine how frustrating that is! We'll be sure to post a few funny doggie pictures on our blog today so Macy can have a few laughs.
ReplyDeleteI guess we get so used to the amazing things we can do medically that we forget how complex our bodies actually are. We can only imagine how frustrating this is for sweet Macey and her family! We continue to pray that a successful treatment plan can be developed and she can get healthy and back to being a little girl with no worries.
ReplyDeleteYour Pals,
MURPHY AND STANLEY
It's so skeery when even the doctors can't figure things out! We're keeping all our paws crossed tight for Macey. I know they'll figure something out soon!
ReplyDeleteUgh, the waiting for answers must be so hard. I hope you find someone who can give you some answers soon! Hang in there!! We are continuing to send good thoughts!
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, I so hope there is better news soon! The hardest thing is not knowing. I hope you find the best doc out there who can figure it all out and get Macey some relief! Hugs and cool healing noses your way!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to have an update on Macey. I keep her in my daily prayers. I guess I'm just going to have to pray harder.
ReplyDeleteAroo to you,
Sully
I am sorry to hear that they haven't solved the mystery of Macey. I really hope they do soon. POTP
