This is the 8th pneomonia and Sarp has been hospitalized again. The local hospital we brought him told that the condition of lungs are not good this time. He gets ventolin, Atrovent and some kinds of antibiotics. And we have a very serious vascular access failure. The veins are getting worse and worse since they have been used thousand times. And now we have  managed to access the vein on the head but if it will become worse when we use different kinds of antibiotics, what we can do is to open a central cervical catheter (from neck).

We recently used the central catherer when he had H1n1 November in a university hospital, and after having this virus his imunnization system became very weak.  Now we we are in a local hospital and they told us it is dangerous for Sarp to be in a local hospital. Infection department of bigger hospitals are full and we can not find place to bring him. I am very anxious about him and I can not do anything. We are just waiting reply from hospital.

I hope Sarp will get better and recover again.

Are there anyone who can tell me that after getting bigger this pneumonia problem will recover? Because Sarp is really suffering from this...

my prays go out to you and sarp i hope he gets better i know how you feel my son has been threw that too he had 2 phnomnias and it was very hard to find his veins he always got poked at with the needle i hope all goes well

get well sarp xoxo

WE HOPE SARP GETS BETTER SOON.  IF ITS HARD FOR THE DOCTORS TO FIND A VEIN A LOT OF THE TIME MAYBE WHEN HE FEELS BETTER YOU COULD HAVE A PORT PUT IN. THEY PUT THEM IN FOR PEOPLE THAT NEED BLOOD DRAWS AND IVs ALOT.  OUR NURSE HAS TALKED ABOUT IT MANY TIMES.

Ahh yes, you are right. We thought about that port a lot. However we have told that port is necessary for those who are having cancer treatment or chemotherapy and they did not do that. They prefer to make a central catheter similar to port but the difference is they remove the catheter after the treatment but port is perminat for 2000 times of use.

I dont know how long will it take for Sarp to get rid of this headache pneumonia.

Rgrds,

i am so sorry to hear all that your poor on has been going through. I know last year both dylan and riley were both hospialtlzed a lot and we had major problems with there veins. It is so hard to watch your child ( or in my case children) go through such horrible pain and difficulties.

I pray he is doing better

all our thoughts are with you

samarra, dylan and riley
