Bad news...we're staying another night. Good news...Luca doesn't seem to care too much.
Looks like we're still going with the infected lymph node diagnosis but they still say there is a possibility that it's something else. Whatever it is we are trying to kill it with antibiotics. The doctors had hoped he would have been looking better today but no such luck. You can see from the pictures that Luca's face and especially his eye is still pretty swollen. The area that seems to be the source of it doesn't look any worse and maybe a little better but not a big change either way.
Luca has been pretty happy, except when a nurse or doctor wants to check him out. He was very excited to see big sister Ava for the first time since our admission Friday. Ava was initially concerned that his eye wouldn't open all the way but then kept saying, "it's ok, he'll get better". They played with the toys in the playroom, went on a wagon ride and had lunch together. Mema and Ava get to have sleepover #3 tonight...THANK YOU mom! Luca also got a visit from Great Aunt Debbie who brought he and Ava some toys and from Shalicia (AKA Sheesha), one of Luca's daycare teachers. Sheesha got several hugs from Luca, hopefully he'll be back to see her at daycare by the end of the week.
Thanks to everyone who has been checking in on us. Cross your fingers that Luca gets to go home tomorrow!
Keep updating us on Luca's condition. Hang in there big guy.
