Billy is finally doing better today. He kept getting fevers and since he had the catheter and a huge, runny BM, I asked them to test his urine. They took a chest xray, blood samples (from his port and arm), blood cultures, urine samples and cultures. So far they have found a urinary tract infection. Today they asked if we would move down to basic. Billy was quite upset at the request, since we would probably be on our way home instead of staying there another week if it wasn't for some senseless mistakes. I spoke with the Resident and said I felt they owed it to him to keep him in Stepdown or Hemoc, she got the picture.
His Nissin will be scheduled for sometime next week, giving him some extra time to recover from this ordeal.

Dear Vivian,
You and your husband have a lot of strength. That is great that your staying on top of your doctors. You guys are the only ones who truly have a gut feeling about your son. I think about you guys constantly.
Love,
Ruth
