SICK FROM POOOOO!!!!!!!

Ok we all got to read about Sarah's fun adventure with pooo flooding!!!! Well here is part 2....... On Wednesday, Tryston got home from summer school and took a nap, which is common for him(school stresses him out). When he woke up he came hunched over holding his chest on the left side. He said it hurts to breathe and he feels like his heart is being stabbed. I looked him over and his left peck was significantly swollen. Well I don't mess around with him, he is my child of many issues and health problems. I took him to the ER, didn't want to wait till morning. Got to the ER he was fine, just had a pain in the outer part of his left peck, NO other symptoms, no fever, cold, sniffle, cough, ache, headache, nothing. I started to feel foolish for wasting my time, thought maybe he had a rib head out, or pulled a muscle, or slept wrong. They checked his temp, O2, heart rate, set him on the heart machine, little physical test, everything was fine, he seemed perfectly fine, but that darn spot in his chest. They did a chest Xray and I was waiting for the DR to come in and tell me him is fine....instead she came in with a weird look on her face and said they had found a spot on his lung, in the exact spot on the outer part of his peck that hurts. I about cried cause why would a child have this. They Dr sent him home Rx w/3 antibiotics and called it pneumonia. I asked the tech if it is normal that a 7 year old walks in with NO symptoms other then pain on the side of his chest and have pneumonia....she said it is very rare. I got scared and worried of whatelse it could be so I got Tryston and researched my butt off...online of course. Well I think she was right. There is a difference between viral and bacterial pneumonia, viral you are sick, cough, fever, boogies, all that. Bacterial is when you have inhaled a bacteria and your immune system-sinuses-body in general can not properly expose of the bacteria, and may not have any symptoms. LIKE IN TRYSTON'S CASE----- breathed in POOOOO particles and your body can't push it back out your lung, so it sticks to your lung like silly putty and causes an infection!!!!!! So anyways now we know he had poop infection in his lungs due to the wild family that lived here before we did. SO now I was frustrated with that family until I saw in the paper that the family that got evicted from our house and moved to Eagle River, with 5 kids of their own and 3 foster kids, ALL TEENAGERS!!! They are terrible(I am not being mean I am being honest) But the night that our house backed up with poop, their house in ER burned to the ground. I almost started to feel sorry for them until I found out it was due to the teenagers(like 13 and 14) were smoking in the basement (they were never watched) well they caught the couch on fire. They had no renters insurance. I am sorry but she took on 3 foster kids that she didn't take off, she just wanted the income it is almost a grand a month per kid in AK. If I didn't respond to Tryston, he could have ended up much more serious. Not to sound harsh about the other family but DAH you leave that many kids unattended all the time bad things will happen. They wander Ft Rich all day everyday, and they have stopped my kids many times to tell them that they used to live here and they used to poop and pee all over the floor(which I found out from housing it is true). SO come on why do these types of family get to care for other people's children when they can't even care for the one's they have. Saddens me. But Tryston is on meds and doing much better. He gets a redo XRAY in 3 weeks. Keep you updated.
