An Update on my update

Well, we ended up in the ER again last night. They gave Landin another IV with antibiotics and steroids. They did some blood tests, also. The blood cultures won't be back until tomorrow or Wednesday, but they said his white blood count was high. His lungs sounded clear, so that was really good. They said that his throat was very swollen. We thought that it was because he was barely moving his neck. About 30 minutes after they gave him the steroid, he was smiling and playing with cars. That was the first time in a week that he wanted to play with anything. He also asked for chocolate milk, so the Physician's assistant went and found him some. Since he was showing improvement, they decided to send us home. They told him that if he didn't take his medicine and keep drinking fluids, he would end up back at the hospital for IV fluids. We finally got back home around midnight.

Today he is doing so much better! We are still giving him breathing treatments and motrin. He still looks pale and has dark circles around his eyes. I was excited that he drank more chocolate milk today, he ate a few spoons full of pudding, and he ate a couple french fries and bites of cheeseburger! That is huge! He hasn't eaten that much all week! I hope he continues to get better! It has been a long week, and I am just very thankful that he is improving. Thank you for praying for him! God is good at answering prayers!
