Hospital update







Well, after a lot of doctor visits and a little confusion it seems that the infectious diease doctor has decided that Luca has an infected lymphnode on his face. He has ear infections but she's not so sure about the mastoiditis diagnosis that the ENT docs had been talking about. She decided to just keep him on the first IV antibiotic and wait and see what happens. Luca has been pretty happy. We got out of the room and explored the children's hospital in a cool red car. He played in the playroom and had lunch in the cafeteria, not really minding the arm board to keep his IV intact. His face is still really swollen but the redness has gone down. He can open his left eye much more than he could right away this morning. We're hoping that by tomorrow morning things will have improved enough that we can go home with oral antibiotics. Big sister Ava has been staying with "Mema" (Molly's mom) and having a blast. At least someone is enjoying the beautiful spring weather.
