Ethan is doing better. He went in to the hospital LAST Sunday for fever and bad tummy problems. He was released on Tuesday only to be readmitted on Friday. He has pneumonia again. Why? He may be aspirating his own secretions. I can not thicken that! I thicken everything else, but that is the one thing I do not have control over. Now, this is just a theory. The pulminologist is still looking into reasons.
Ethan's IGG levels were low, so he got some IVIG (immune globulin) the other day and has since perked up. He may even get to come home today or tomorrow- probably tomorrow. Thank you to everyone who has written and who continues to pray for Ethan! Even though he is so close to completion of his treatment, he is still so susceptible to everything known to man. This is the main reason that I need for him to stay at his school another year!
On a personal note for me- the stress of school has been lifted until June. I am taking a break to concentrate solely on Ethan. I won't start back up until after we get back from California next month. While I was nervous to take such a long break, I think it will be refreshing and will also give me and Scott a chance to reconnect.
My friend and neighbor, Paula, asked me to be in her wedding over the weekend. We found her wedding dress over the weekend and now we have to find the bridesmaids dresses. Talk about inspiration to hit the gym!
I think that is all for now. We love you all!
