so far, all that has changed is that he finally got his EEG. it came back FINE. thank you for your prayers!!! they still have not been able to draw blood and are making another attempt at the picc line tomorrow sometime. after they get blood, it'll be 7-10 days for the chromosonal testing to come back to see if there is a reason for all his problems.
he has been moved to isolation to avoid contact with others germs. i thought maybe they should have done that from the start, but i'm not the dr! i'm just glad he is still alive and his vitals are pretty good considering. still on life support, will be for who knows how long. they say he'll be in for at least 2 months at this time, but they still don't know all that is wrong or right so they can't say for sure.
my SIL was released from here yesterday and traveled up to wichita to stay there. i'm glad she is with him. as a mom, i would be lost if i couldn't be there with my son through these times.
keep praying. with each day, his strength shines through. he truly is his father's son (and my DH's nephew!).
