Bummer

Good news...Luca is looking better and his infection seems to be improving.

Bad news...he has to stay another night.

The doctors think everything is going well and that he is getting better but want to give him another 24 hours on the IV antibiotics before we go home on oral antibiotics. The primary site of infection is still swollen and hard to the touch but much less red and tender. Luca hardly makes a peep when someone comes to examine his face whereas on Friday he screamed and cried if the area was touched. His face is still swollen on the left side and his eye is a little puffy but things are slowly getting back to normal. Maybe by next week I'll be able to get his one year pictures finally taken.

We've had a pretty good day so far. Mema (my mom) and big sister Ava came to visit again as well as a visit from our friend Tim who works in the hospital. Luca has been busy walking the halls, riding in a car and wagon, playing with toys and making small talk with everyone he passes with his only vocabulary of, "what's that? what's that?". He is a happy boy and I am amazed at how well he is doing in spite of all of this.
