day 96 September 9, 2009

Wednesday- well, we woke up today and planned on doing a 'field trip' with friends Mary and Corinne and Nicole was coming. We are all set to leave to go to the aquarium and I checked Cody's temp and he had a fever. So plans changed and we started our journey to Sloan. Blood cultures were drawn and Cody was starting to get sicker so we were admitted after a very long day. There are no bed available on pediatrics so we are on the 5th floor. This morning one of his lines tested positive for an infection. We had already started antibiotics yesterday but today the line was removed and an IV started in his hand. He has had a fever today too. I was hoping he would hold on as his new line gets put in on Monday. It is scheduled for Monday anyway. Today we are waiting for the MRI, you get bumped when you are inpatient. He feels ok and is just tired. There is some good. He was able to take a REAL shower after over a month and was loving it! It wiped him out and he is napping again as I write this. It sucks to be back but thank goodness it is nothing more than a line infection. Thank goodness for our good friends, the Silvino's, the Morello's and Moira for taking our doggies. They get a mini vacation too. I am thinking we are here till Monday due to the IV and then after we get the new one, we will be discharged if all goes well. So here we are again....
