I'm not sure if I am fit to judge what a slow day and an exciting day are. Today, they noticed more cloudiness on the lungs in the chest x-ray, which may be more fluid, or it may be pneumonia. One of the cultures they took is growing, but they are not sure if it is normal stuff, or an infection. So, they want to put him on another antibiotic. They are stopping the vanco and starting him on Bactrim just in case it is pneumonia. They are also changing out his sedative to one that lasts longer. He had a little bit of a rough night, and even having trouble settling this afternoon. Jen says they have had to add other sedatives along with the new one as they are trying to calm him down.
Still much to be in prayer about, and still much to be thankful for. It is nice to be home for a few days, and nice to have plans to be up for a couple days with the kids next week. That should keep things interesting, and give Jen a little extra dose of loving on the other kids to help see her (and the kids) through.
