Guest guest Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 I understand your sadness in this situation. You know you could help this little boy and yet you are blocked to do so. Maybe you can offer to bring him some carrot juice, etc. What would they have done in the old days? Does the boy have a dog or other pet? With the right antibiotic that bacteria could possibly be stopped right now. Is that what is happening? Is the boy on a good antibiotic? In the old days, someone might have used poltices to draw out the toxins, and maybe made him eat certain things like garlic, etc. Doctors just didn't take the common sense from people of the past. Chances are the parents will only listen to the doctors. I'm sorry. Kel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 Hi, Kelly, thank you....I am not a friend of the family, just a friend of a friend, and while I've been following the story for some time, I'm not in any position to offer help or advice to this family. The latest is that he is going into surgery for more skin grafting (the effect of some of the tissue destruction was similar to serious burning.) They are still trying to figure out what caused all of this. In fact, in the last day or two, he had another bout of fever, but not enough to keep him from continued surgery. Thanks again for your kind thoughts. Peace, Valerie " Kelly W. " <kellykebby wrote: I understand your sadness in this situation.
