• Quick Update

  Joshy has spent most of the last 3 days sleeping and getting his temp back up to a normal range.

  Yesterday, our regular doctor was on duty - such a blessing.  Joshy's lungs were clear, but his CRP (infection indicator) was much higher than Saturday so he started an IV antibiotic as a precaution (he knows Josh!).  Cough got worse as the day progressed.   Josh needed a breathing treatment at bed time.  Then he needed suctioning during the night.

  This morning, the admitting doctor popped in, accessed the situation, gave lungs a quick listen, and ordered an xray.

  Xrays showed double pneumonia.

  The admitting doctor has turned Joshy over to his regular doctor.  Have yet to consult with him (Monday is his office hours  day)  BUT this evening Joshy is awake and trying to play.  His balance is terrible.  Seizures are crazy. BUT he IS awake.

  VERY thankful the doctor started antibiotics yesterday, I think they are starting to do the trick.  Please pray that this trend continues!!
