Update From The Infirmary

We are all gradually getting better...

Dylan is out of daycare until at least Thursday. He went back to the doctor yesterday for a checkup and although he is getting better, she wasn't entirely happy with his progress. He is now on prednisolone, a mild steroid, to reduce the inflamation and help him breathe easier. His blood oxygen was 97, so that was a big improvement. The ear appeared to be clearing up, so that's good. (The only bad side effect of the antibiotic is it turns the poop red. Darren calls it "Georgia Clay"). So Thursday he goes back to the doctor again to recheck his breathing and ear and we find out if he is all clear for daycare or if we have to keep him home longer. He seems to be doing better and last night he slept well, especially since we were able to flatten his mattress - the doctor said he no longer needs to be propped up. He is still being nebulized every 4 hours, so even though he slept through the night, Mommy and Daddy did not, so we're still struggling.

Darren and I are both doing better. Darren's cough is all but gone and I don't really feel sick at all, just exhausted from being up every 4 hours. I still haven't gotten the results of my blood test from the doctor and I'm starting to get annoyed at them. Seriously, it shouldn't take this long.

So hopefully everything has turned a corner.

Dylan's waking up. Got to go.
