The Puddles

The morning rounds with the doctors held good news so far. Liver and kidney function is good. No fever. His inflammatory marker was up a little but the increase was so small that the doctors declared that it was the same. A fluctuation. I can get behind that. 

We are one step closer to the D word (as one of the doctors referred to it as. We will follow their lead and not say the word discharge. We don’t want to jinx it.). The nurse practitioner brought us Ben’s prescription for antibiotics to take home. 

Ben is filling his time with Legos. 

  
He has completed several projects so far and had fun playing with them every day. 

  
I am NOT packing until I get the final word on Monday. I pray for good results, but am fearful of being disappointed. 

Thanks to Aunt Sarah for the drive by drop off of coffee and Megan for the hug. The closer we get to freedom the harder it is to be in this room!! So I appreciate the quick coffee run diversion. 

Hopefully we get the good word tomorrow!  We are still constantly sending prayers up for no fever, working kidneys, and good blood work. The doctors said today that the optimism in our room is so high that she had no doubt that we would get to go home tomorrow!
