My Sick Little Man

I'm so behind. I have so many posts in my head that just haven't come to fruition. Darian's pics from State, her birthday, Thanksgiving, and on and on. All of that is on the back-burner while I'm taking care of Luke. For those of you who don't know, Luke has been one sick little boy. He came down with a fever last Friday and by Saturday wasn't able to move his neck. Off to the ER we went. He spent the night, had tons of tests and a bunch of IV antibiotics. We went home Sunday and he just wasn't getting better. Early Monday morning, the hospital called and said we needed to get back right away, his blood test came back positive for infection. He was admitted and after many more tests, we found out that the lymph nodes in his neck and head were severly infected and the infection had spread to his blood. As if that wasn't enough, he is developing an abcess in one of his lymph nodes. Right now we are in a holding pattern while they are trying to get rid of the abcess with meds rather than surgery. So, we are in here until at least Friday. I will say this new Children's Center is amazing. The doctors and nurses are top notch and they are doing everything they can to make Luke comfortable and happy.

On Monday when we first got admitted and not doing so hot.

Pain meds on board and Matt Leinart from the Arizona Cardinals visiting him with toys and we get a little smile!

He really liked the clown visiting him too. Four players from the Phoenix Coyotes came by the same day, but he was really in no mood for them. No pics from that visit.
