Parenting can be difficult. Children can be notorious and a lot of problems and things are going and things start to spoil when children become sick. Parents always want to believe that every time their little sick, there is something minor, a fever, a cold that can be taken care of, but that's where they make a mistake. At the time of today, there is no lack of diseases and problems and no symptoms should be taken for granted. Whenever children fall ill or complain about any type of pain, they should be immediately taken to a doctor, sometimes things are bigger than what appears on the unnecessary surface and tragedies can be avoided.
Last year, a family could not understand the symptoms of their child's disease and it ended tragically for them, something similar happened to Lacey's daughter.
An unexpected call
It was a day like any other, Lacey prepared his 4 year old daughter and sent him to Preschool. She went to her work and did not expect to meet her daughter before the school ended. However, his expectations were proven as an error and she was left in the state of anxiety when she received a call from the school that her daughter ran with fever and that she had to be picked up. Lacey did not think much about things at that time. She went to get her daughter and take care of her right at the hospital. Does it react on a minor fever?
Fever
The Lacey was informed by the school administration that, under the Elanna Protocol, should not be sent to school for at least one day. It was in order to prevent the fever from spreading in case it was a transmissible disease and give parents' time so that the child has been tested. Lacey has two Elianna girls and the other just two years. It is normal that the children have a fever, so Lacey did not think much, but something had not happened a few days ago who really worried him and who really made her take her daughter directly to the hospital .
Just a fun game
It was a regular Saturday, like any other child, Elianna played with a "Nouille Pool" in the family pool; Blowing on one end of the noodle so that the water is out of the other end. In an interview withABC NewsThe grace of Lacey, the mother of the elanna, four years old, said: "It was only a fun game, you know when someone would go or swim from the noodle and she would take the noodle and claimed That she did not look like the night and then someone wanted to make it and do not realize that she was already at the other end of that. "And if the water has arrived in his mouth and Elianna accidentally swallowed him.
Apparently normal
Elianna vomits just after the incident in the pool but it was. After that, she returned to play with people around her; It was as if nothing had happened. She was playing, ate and myself after 30 minutes as she would normally do. Even the next day she was fine. However, on Monday after the weekend, she has developed a fever. Lacey thought it was nothing too out of the ordinary because the children develop a fever are quite normal. She did not send it to school but she did not think a lot and that's what she says in the coming video.
A healthy child
It is normal for the growth of children fell ill. They catch bacteria while playing or being exposed to the new environment and most diseases are benign. Like any other child, Elianna also had his share of diseases, so his sister. But on the whole she had always been a healthy and happy child and had no serious illness. So even this fever or launch event do not sound alarm bells in the Lacey head. But something happened shortly after that alerted it.
A day of rest
As Elianna could not go to school, Lacey took her daughter with her work in Bradenton, Florida. Elianna slept all over this day or she was sitting in the corner of Lacey's office with books or coloring toys. There was nothing normal nor so it seemed. Lacey was not very worried. Elianna has still not shown symptoms and was sent to school on Wednesday, which was a mistake.
Naturally worried
When people are new for parenthood, they worried and do not worry quickly if they do not see something out of the ordinary with their child; Above all, it does not reveal serious. Dacey said, "There are so many times that I took my child at the doctor, saying that I am a worried parent and say it's a viral thing, give him a few days" La Lacey explained. However, this time was different. She had known what could happen to her child and she did not want Elianna's life in any case.
To be an overcodery parent
Parents are overprotecting their children because they love them. It can be counterproductive, but sometimes in the case of Elianna, Lacey being a parent too concerned about her saved from a fatal accident. Lacey is a responsible parent who makes read about every disease and incident related to children who are available online. It was to have read about such an online incident that made Lacey alert and remembered that an online father's incident on the subject posted, ended tragically. She wanted to avoid a similar end for her daughter at all costs.
What was happening
Lacey continued to tell her side of the story, "we went from school to emergency care, hoping that the doctor said," His lung lungs, it's just viral, etc. ". We were about 10 minutes there when the doctor said to make him the closest as soon as possible. His heart rate was crazy, his oxygen was weak, and his skin becomes purple that suggests a chemical infection ". After that, they "went to the nearest Er where they made a thoracic radiography and showed inflammation and infection caused by chemicals from the pool. »
Construction fears
Lacey has been recalled from a similar case and she said, "I continued the scene of the pool in my head and reminded me of reading a story last year about a father in Texas, whose son is Deceased because he treated after swallowing a pile of pool water. I will not let ELIANNA be ". What she refers here, is the tragic death of Frankie Delgado III. He had not even a year since the boy died and Elianna has developed symptoms similar to him, who made Lacey play.
Frankie Tale Tragic
It was supposed to be one day like another, Frankie Delgado III was splashing in Texas City Dike, the water was only four feet, the parents did not think there was anything dangerous for their 4 year old boy . But soon Frankie started showing symptoms similar to having a stomach bug. He vomits and suffers from diarrhea. A few days after the Frankie incident told his father that he wanted to nap his shoulders. After a few hours, he slammed up from him, but not for the better.
The end for Frankie
Frankie Delgado Jr. said a news station, "from nowhere, he just woke up. He said "Ahhh", he took his last breath - and I did not know what to do more ". The child was immediately taken to the hospital, but the authorities tried to wake him, in vain. There was liquid in the lungs and heart Frankie; The doctors informed the family that he was a victim, "dried drown". He was declared dead by Houston Hospital. It was then that the family decided to share the news with different media.
Parents should be aware
After the death is from Frankie, his parents started to share his story with several media because they wanted to avoid similar deaths and the parents wanted to be aware of this rare but fatal disease. The family had created a Gofundme page for Frankie's funeral expenses and in a few days, managed to raise about $ 14,000. Death by drowning is really common, but not "dried drown", most people are not even aware of the term. Thanks to Frankie's parents, Lacey was able to identify the problem with her daughter.
Grateful
"I would not know if that person did not write this story," said Lacey in the interview with theABC NewsAttached before, referring to the tragic death of Frankie. Lacey recalled the incident after finding that the symptoms of his daughter were similar to that of Frankie and she took her to the hospital. The understanding of the father of Frankie that some could one day a parent need help to understand the strange symptoms that their children could develop after a day in the swimming pool - proven to be ok and they managed to save a life.
What about East-Elanna
In the video attached before, Lacey tells everything and how things happened to his daughter and his own fears. In an interview, she said, "Two hours later, they transferred it into an ambulance to a hospital even more so that they could watch it the clock and have pediatric specialists keep an eye on it. She started treatment in the ambulance on the way above ". The state of Elianna was serious, she could not be left unattended and she was still in danger.
What Dry Nosades What
Despite its name, dry drowning involves water. It occurs when the water is accidentally swallowed but the person does not drown immediately afterwards. This can happen hours after swimming in case of water inhalation. Inhaled water causes the sequence of the vocal spasm cords, closing the person's respiratory tract. The fluid starts to rely in and around the heart and lungs. Dry drowning mainly happens to children, it is very rarely arriving with adults. It's rare in itself; It represents about 1% of all drownings.
Dry drown vs Secondary drowning
Either "dry drown" or "secondary drowning" occur when the water does not find a release and is trapped in the respiratory tract. In the case of dry drowning, respiratory tract spasms are created by inhaled water without even reaching the lungs. In the case of secondary drowning, inhaled water enters the lungs potentially cause pulmonary edema. As a result, the person is confronted with breathing when the body fails to obtain enough oxygen. This can cause death even after days of the water inhalation incident.
Symptoms to search
Cough, chest pain, vomiting and extreme fatigue are the most common symptoms of dry drowning. Doctors will make a thoracic radiograph and monitor oxygen levels to confirm drown. The best prevention is to monitor children while swimming and during the next hours. If they show signs of problems in the pool and have symptoms within 24 hours, they should be taken to the emergency room. No symptoms or complains of pain after swimming on behalf of children should not be made.
Acute problems
The doctors discovered that Elianna was suffering from suction pneumonia and had to be on oxygen to depend on breathing. They tried to remove the tubes and let her try to breathe his own but she failed and her levels fell quickly as she still had to be discovered on oxygen. Even by the second dose of antibiotics, there was no improvement in its state. His fevers were still high. Nothing seemed to work so far and Lacey was at the edge of his anxiety.
Was it too late?
It is true that the initially Lacey did not think a lot of EIANNA fever and vomiting, but when she realized that it could have been a dry drowning case, she did not lose time and rushed his daughter to the hospital. Even then nothing seemed that Elianna oxygen levels have always dropped. If she lost her daughter even after having acted on her parental instincts and worry, Lacey could not forgive me. But then something happened.
Sigh of relief
After being on the edge of anxiety for a few hours, Lacey received news that lets her finally breathe. Elianna's heart rate had finally lowered and it was good news. Lacey remembers, "At least two doctors have now told us" Thank God, you had it here when you did it "." All the major things that go wrong are things you would never notice when looking at it . "It has been a major relief in Lacey. She had done her job to bring her daughter to help at the right time. Now she could just pray.
Elianna Treatment
After identifying that what was happening in Elianna was "dry drowned" doctors immediately put it on antibiotics that helped him get rid of the chemicals of the pool. It has been maintained until its fever, its chest radiography showed no blockage and could sleep all night without any radical change in its oxygen levels. If it needed oxygen of more than 3 liters, it would have been transferred to Hopkins all children's hospitals.
2 days later ...
After the Elianna is better and recovered. 2 days after being admitted to the hospital, after the administration of strong antibiotics, it was finally able to breathe the only one and respect for wheezing. Elianna was not a typical case of secondary drowning but the nursery in his mind is sure that she could not have saved her daughter or getting appropriate help in time if it was not for this article on Frankie. And she admits that on the video to come.
His advocacy
After all that Lacey, his family and Elianna had been through Lacey, a request to do to all parents. She says, "If your child swallows / inhales a lot of water, and something seems at all, I encourage you to immediately get help. I wonder if I would have taken Monday, would she be better ?? And I wonder if I waited for a longer what would have happened. It's so scary. "It is true that the sometimes parents' concern is nothing serious, but it is always better to be sure that by sorry.
Others should know
Lacey thought of posting his story and what happened with Elianna online. She said, "I planned to know if it's worth poster, and at the end of the day, I'm where I'm because of something other than Papa Posted a day last year . If I can even help save a child, it's worth it for me. "It was the knowledge of the nature of Frankie's death who directed Lacey to take quick action and perhaps, reading his Blog, other parents are able to help their child in time.
Written a letter
Obviously, Lacey was grateful to the family of Frankie of Texas to make the history of their public child. He actually saved his daughter's life because he also informed the doctors of the rare possibility of "drinking drinking". An emotional lacey said, "I thank my lucky stars that I read this little boy's article. I will find this article and write that dad a letter, I promise you. I would never have taken to urgent care without this And God knows how it would have finished. "
Make the difference
Keeping his promise, Lacey made sure to join Frankie's family. She expressed their gratitude to share their experience. If they were not, Lacey could not have avoided the tragedy that struck at the door of his child. She even had a response from Frankie's sister who said, "Something with your story makes us cry. Frankie we lack every day. We do everything we can to get its history out there to prevent this from happening. We are happy to see that it makes a difference. "
Go fund me
When Lacey's friends and colleagues have learned that Elianna was suffering from a pneumonia of suction, perihilatal edema and chemical pneumonitis creating a Gofundme page for her. She realized the massive amount of medical invoices that Lacey would receive after the treatment of her daughter. And they instantly raised a sufficient quantity for their present. Elianna is currently at home, recovery and video coming up shows her recovery.
Others
Even though dry drowning occurs rarely, but when she can claim lives, as in the case of Frankie. If they had experienced something about it earlier, they could have saved their little boy. But they did not want something similar to happen at any other child, so they shared their history and alert lace and vigilant Lacey is, she read it and she is actually common to save the life of her daughter. If children are going through a disease that is rare parents should share their experiences because it ends up helping someone, somewhere like Lacey says in future video.
History of his mouth
Here is Lacey and an Elianna recovery telling their story together. We can see that Lacey has been panicked throughout the incident and how well it is recognized by Texas's family for sharing their experience. It was the ones who made him want to share his daughter's test too and, hopefully, it would help save many other lives.
