I will define "baby" as my youngest child, seeing he is 8 yr as of this month. His right lung is full of water -- as the hospital has put it. Yet they did not admit him? I am not sure if they do things different here, because they sure put my husband in when he had it.

My son's fever has been over 103+ since this has started WITH motrin & Tylenol. He gets delusional (I cannot spell -- starts talking to 1/2 the world who is not there or claiming things are all over when it's not happening) an example: He sits up in bed playing video games wide awake, completely believing his water bottle is hot cocoa! Scared the hell out of me when my tv kept going off & on because that was his controller. Or he will start talking about how he's doing in Karate -- which he has not started, all I can say is OUCH!

The doc gave us strict instructions, and one hell of a drug. Yet each night his fever spikes high enough do to this.

On top of all this. He sleeps all day long, we have to wake him up to get him to drink & use bathroom. He hasn't really eaten. I have to change him often because he soaks his clothes ... but you cannot leave him in just undies.

During all this time, there's another catch ... they won't let my husband off. Sweet, huh? They gave him duty on a day I could not get off -- Saturday! I worked it out that I worked only when he wasn't working, because we are shorted handed & they pull this shit. He called everyone, they didn't care his son was sick (although we have documents to prove it) no one would take the duty slot. In the end it was my children & me taking care of my youngest.

We had to take him into the hospital again, because his got worse ... they didn't give a flying F. YET he can fill in for the 1SG & pick up a drunk soldier from off post police to bring back to post. He can watch this drunk ass soldier who went lying to the Chaplin ... because our son's health isn't that important.

They told him "YOUR soldier needs you now." (bullshit) I love my husband, I know he's stuck between a rock & a hard place because of what this lame soldier did. I am stuck in a situation where I can tear this unit to hell & back.

The soldier told the Chaplin that he was considering suicide ... because he screwed up his life. So they put that mans life before my 8 yr old childs life. Problem is, no one believes the soldier, yet they had the guall to tell my husband that where I could here it.

I have an 8 yr old who's temp has been 103 and above; who is although is drinking water is still slightly dehydrated; cannot eat; pretty much does wacked out shit at night; sleeps all day; & right lung is filled with water ... yet isn't important to an adult who CHOOSE to mess up his life. My son did not decide for this to happen to him, my son did not ASK for this, my son did not want this. YET that adult make the decisions in his life; he chose the drugs & the alcohol, as well as the decision to get behind the wheel of a car.

In my opinion, the adult can kiss my rosy red ass ... because my son comes before him. And the unit & small parts of it have crossed one hell of a line when they made the comments by putting that fool before my son. They have done a lot, but this is the last thing ... only problem is what do I do. I know the options, & I know the results if I take them ... I have been around for too damn long.
