Yesterday we visited Timmy's doctor who let us know that his lungs have cleared up and the pneumonia is gone. He hasn't had a fever this week, and just continues to have coughing fits and some gagging on sinus drainage from time to time. We also learned that albuterol doesn't interact well with some of Timmy's medications (it magnifies the effects of the furosemide - which sends potassium out of his body causing a potassium deficiency which can make patients pretty uncomfortable in several ways). It also minimizes the effects of the digoxin which he is on to try to support his heart function. After a day off of albuterol, he is looking much better. We are hoping tonight will be a 'sleeping much better' sort of night as well.
Timmy was being very photogenic this morning, so enjoy!
Glad he's doing better! Thanks for the updates, I like to show the pictures to our kids so they can see who they've been praying for. He sure is looking bigger!
