Here we go again

We tried 4 days of oral antibiotics for another infected lymph node; this time under Luca's jaw. It seemed to be improving but then came back with a vengance. It is huge, red and very tender to touch. After an early evening appointment with an infectious disease doctor we are now admitted to UW Children's Hospital and waiting to find out what is going to happen. So far we know that he will need and IV and a CT scan. We're ohping he can do the CT scan without having to be sedated. Depending on what the CT shows he will either try a course of IV antibiotics and hope it clears up or will need surgery to drain the area and culture the stuff inside. No fun at all...poor boy. They said to expect 3-7 days in the hospital. Besides being a little irritable

he is doing great, as long as you stay away from his face. He is sleeping on Dustin right now who is also dozing. I may take a little nap too until the docs come back in.

This sucks.
