Day 235 January 25, 2010

Monday-We had an ok night but was interrupted because of his one line still not functioning properly. The doctor on the team today kinda made me feel bad saying we should have taken an ambulance to the nearest hospital to get him stabile and then have them transport him here. She said we were lucky we made it. I think we are realizing how dangerous it was. The steroids make Cody feel better, but his body is stressed and needs time to recover from this horrible event. We are still waiting for results. The virus studies take longer. There is an E. Coli bacteria that presents itself with all that he showed including the dropped blood pressure. Not sure just yet what the cause was and we might not ever know. He ate a hamburger and he ate pasta salad with peppers and cucumbers. How bad do I feel? I am hoping it is not this. There is also a stomach virus going around too.

We got moved to the floor and have a room. We are here for the week, maybe longer. He, of course, is not happy about this but we will get through it. He needs time to recuperate so we do not have a relapse. He is so fragile and this was proof of just how fragile he is. I am just glad we were home and not out somewhere. It is a setback but one that we will get over.
