Still Hanging Out On 3C

Well I spoke too soon yesterday, not only did James' fevers redevelop, but so did his vomitting. We have not fed him since supper last night (which he threw back up) and he continues to have diarrhea at this point. At noon today I hope to just give him some Pedialyte to keep him hydrated and see what happens with that.

The doctors have not talked about discharging again. Since James is not eating they cannot let him go until he is tolerating feeds again, otherwise we could end up into trouble with his ammonia levels. The blood cultures came back last night and all is fine in that area, so they stopped the antibiotics this morning. Now it will be a wait and see process to see if the fevers come back more consistently and higher. If they do then they will have to reevaluate, if they don't then we can go on the assumption that this has all just been a virus. Let's hope that they give him enough time to truly show how he's doing, as last time it took 36 hours before the fevers began again.

At this point James is still pretty inactive. He will play in his bed or on the chair or snuggle with us, but he has not asked to go down or walk and does not seem to have the energy to. Although his actions show that he does not have much energy, he actually does not look to bad, just a little pale.

On a good note, we got the results of the Echo today. The Lord has answered our prayers and we received a good report on his heart, no murmur, nothing to be concerned about. This is certainly reason to be thankful, we were so afraid we would have to add one more organ to his list of ailments. One less thing to worry about :)

Well I have left him for long enough, I must get back to our room ... maybe I can get a nap in myself :)
