Just a quick update: we had a follow up visit with the Dr. yesterday to check in on Timmy's congestion. He said the spots from the x-ray last week probably indicated pneumonia and since he still has been spiking fevers he wanted to put him on a second antibiotic. This happened several times while we were in the hospital - just to be sure they got all his bacteria. The Dr. is comfortable with how he is doing and improving, so we are glad for that.
He has sometimes been sleeping better, and sometimes been coughing most of the night. The first signs of getting better for Timmy are usually behavioral - looking around more, maybe even smiling and 'talking' (more of grunting, but his grunt-talking is way different from his just plain grunting). These have started to come back, so we are hopeful that the corner has been turned and he is on the mend. The antibiotics are helping, but also seem to be messing with his ability to digest well, so we are looking forward to them running their course and getting rid of leaking issues Timmy has had this past week. I am amazed by how well our 'compromised' baby is doing fighting off his respiratory illness. God has been so good through it all!
