ruptured appendix

[sanjeshma]

Hey everyone, My son shohil had ruptured appendicitis and is admitted in the hospital for almost 3 weeks now. He has been gone through a regular IV antibiatics and is always complaining about pain in the abdomen. Had CT scan and ultra sonographic examination and the doctors has been telling me that the gas has been formed in his intestine and thats why the pains is not going. He has been on morphine since he was admitted 3 weeks ago.We are here in fiji islands and the resources are very limited . Can anyone help me to make my son back to normal as he was before operation. When ever he passes urine he cries very loud.He is just 7 years old and has weight of 18.5kg. H e is getting weak day by day. We do have insurance but the doctors arent very coperative with s to take my son to overseas for thorough checkup. Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.

We are not supposed to give medical advice per the terms of service of this site. However, I am very sorry to hear about this. I have a 6 yo son myself and I would be beside myself in a similar situation. The best advice I can give you is to not give up. Keep pushing for answers for your son. I am not yet a nurse, but I am a mother, so I can most definitely understand how this must be for you and I will be hoping and praying that everything turns out okay.
