Child Complained Of Poison Oak But It turned out Stevens Johnson Syndrome

 


His eyes were bloodshot red and his lips were beginning to crack and peel.


It is every mother’s worst nightmare when her child gets ill. But it is even worse when there is nothing you can do about it. Mandy Suzanne Smith picked up her son Zachary from school because he had poison oak on his foot and itchy eyes. The rash had spread to his entire body the next day, and he had a fever.



According to The No Chill reports, doctors initially suspected viral infection, but the medications he was given didn’t work, and his symptoms worsened.


His eyes were bloodshot red, and his lips were cracking and peeling. Zachary was diagnosed with SJS by the doctors (Stevens-Johnson syndrome). It literally burns you from the inside. He had been taking lamotrigine (Lamictal) to treat migraines.


Stevens-Johnson Syndrome was diagnosed in him. It became worse until 90% of the child’s skin was affected and it spread to his lungs. As his skin blistered, he screamed in agony.



They flew him to a burn unit, where he was placed in a coma. Doctors removed his skin and wrapped him from head to toe so that it could start growing again. Nobody knew if he’d make it.


But Zachary did, and apart from his hair needing to grow again, he looks like new. No one knows what side effects will occur down the line. Zachary told his parents that he was never actually asleep while in his coma and that a strong angel named Samson held him in his arms.


He also said he saw his “mawmaw patsy” who had passed. Zachary said he scratched his back as he lay in her lap. This seems to be a miracle from god. His parents are just thankful he seems better and healthier now. What a nightmare that was.

  Divers Spot Sunken Plane On Ocean Floor, They Turn Pale After Swimming Inside Nolan, a skilled diver with several undersea adventures under his belt, had always been drawn to the mysteries of the deep blue. On a group expedition off the Californian coast, the team came across the shadowy outline of an aircraft, hidden beneath the waves. The excitement of discovery soon turned to dread as they ventured inside the eerie, aquatic tomb. What they encountered inside made their blood run cold… Getting his PADI Nolan had always loved diving. Living his entire life near the sea, getting his PADI was like getting his driver’s license. Both were equally important in his day-to-day life. Getting that certificate eventually ensured him of his job and allowed him to dive anywhere in the world. Nevertheless, nothing felt like diving near the coast that he was from. Routine Checks  Nolan believed that he had seen it all.  He’d been to all the major reefs in the world, though it had be...

Astronaut names the manmade structure that made him realise Earth's 'big lie'

Image
Seeing Earth from outer space is a transformative experience, one that profoundly changes how astronauts perceive our planet and humanity’s place within it. This phenomenon, known as the "overview effect," is a cognitive shift that many astronauts have described as life-altering. Among them, former NASA astronaut Ronald Garan has been particularly vocal about his experiences during his 178 days in space. His reflections not only provide insights into the beauty of our planet but also highlight humanity’s shared challenges and responsibilities. Imagine looking down on Earth from the vast expanse of space, seeing its vibrant colors, swirling clouds, and expansive landscapes. For astronauts like Garan, this breathtaking perspective is both awe-inspiring and sobering. Garan recalls moments of gazing at Earth’s features, from the glimmering flashes of lightning storms to the ethereal dance of auroras. These phenomena, visible from orbit, underscore the fragility and interconnected...

In a SHOCKING Discovery, Scientists Achieve Communication Between People in Their DREAMS

Image
Scientists in California have made a groundbreaking breakthrough in sleep science by enabling two people to communicate with each other while asleep and dreaming. This remarkable experiment, conducted by the tech company REMspace, demonstrates the potential of lucid dreaming as a platform for dream-state communication and opens the door to revolutionary applications in mental health, education, and beyond. By leveraging advanced technologies and the unique phenomenon of lucid dreaming, the researchers achieved what was once thought to be science fiction: real-time communication between individuals during sleep. Lucid dreaming occurs during the REM (Rapid Eye Movement) stage of sleep, which is characterized by vivid dreams and heightened brain activity. In this state, dreamers become aware that they are dreaming and, in some cases, can exert control over the content of their dreams. The study focused on experienced lucid dreamers capable of recognizing their dream state, a critical comp...
