This morning we were moved from the 4th floor (the '23 hour observation floor ) to the 3rd floor, since we were now admitted...
Camdyn was able to sleep quite a bit today. His little face and entire body has swollen a considerable amount.. due to all the fluids his body is retaining (since his kidneys are shut down - he has not been able to "tinkle" since last Tuesday 6/24). At times he has barely been able to open his eyes. His body needs alot of down time - just to rest and try to recoup.
He had lots of visitors come by to show their support and love. Thank you to all for the fun balloons, pretty flowers and cute toys that have been brought/delivered. Camo is too cute - when he has a gift bag in his lap.. he is so excited to pull out the tissue paper and see what his 'prize' is. He is just as excited to find a little $0.50 toy, as he is a $$$ toy. He is so precious and so sweet. He has been through so much already, and still does not hesitate to give kisses and tell you he loves you sooo much!
Tonight was a nightmare :_( It all started around 5pm... we noticed Camdyn's eyes were extremely puffy and he could not stop scratching his little nose and his head.. something was really driving him crazy. We immediately concluded that these symptoms were a result of a severe allergic reaction to Tylenol codeine. We called the nurses into our room - to check his condition. After calling the dr. to explain his symptoms.. the nurses brought in a medicine to place in his i.v. that should reverse the effects of the Tylenol with codeine he had been given earlier in the day. As soon as the doctor walked in to check on Camdyn - the nurse inserted the medicine, Camdyn immediately vomited and became extremely irritable and restless. Camo's mommy and daddy had to physically hold him down and give him a tight bear hug.. until he finally settled down.
The doctor scheduled an immediate Ct Scan and blood to be taken, to send to the labs. We waited about an hour and the nurse came in to let us know the Ct Scan was normal and the blood samples were unchanged (no better or worse). All of Camo's symptoms were caused from the codeine in the Tylenol. So! no more of that will be given to him, ever again.
Camdyn fell asleep around 11pm simply from pure exhaustion.
