So as I see it, t now becomes somewhat of an extended vacation here at The lovely Children's Hospital Suites. Where they wake you every 15 minutes at the call of a beeping machine and serve you applesauce and chicken broth any hour of the day if you like, celebrities visit your room and warm blankets are at your fingertips and they bleach every surface on the hour for you safety. So, we are hunkered down for the long haul and trying to make the best of a shitty situation.
Well, it's Friday. I needed someone to tell me that by the way. Days have a way of running into each other here. Especially when you don't sleep at night (like last night for example). So we have been here three weeks as of today. Daniel lectured the Doctor today that he is concerned that they are not doing their job because he is still feeling pain and doesn't know why they haven't figured it out yet, I admit there are times I agree with him. Results from his MRI this morning show that in fact the antibiotics are working (albeit slowly) to decrease the inflammation in his hips. He will continue to be monitored for clinical improvement over the next weeks until he can be looked at for surgical consideration due to his coagulation. They continue to monitor this as well. The Doctor described to Daniel very nicely today that when his numbers start to come back up (which he expects them to due in the coming weeks) he will naturally start healing on his own. IT JUST ALL TAKES TIME....ARGH!

Nadine, we have been out of town for two weeks, but I have read every one of your daily reports. I bought a card for Daniel two weeks ago, but just gave it to Chris tonight to mail for me. I hope Daniel will get it soon and it will make him smile. My heart so hurts for all you and your family are going through. I wish I could help in some tangible way, but know all I can do is continue to pray for all of you. Lorenzo and I do that every single day. Hang in there. The lack of sleep alone is enough to send you over the edge I'm sure! So many people care about you, are praying for you, are sending you good thoughts every day. Even though we are on the edges of your amazing support group of friends, we care deeply and get reports from Andrew every day. Sending you love and good wishes and hoping tonight you will REST and tomorrow will be a better day. Cherry
