Matt continues to heal beautifully!! It is amazing how strong Matt's body is and how quickly things are improving now that they have the diagnosis and right drugs. Moved out of ICU about an hour ago and is off the heart monitor. Was able to shower, which made him just a little bit excited! He planned to shower right when we got into the room, but realized the trip up to the third floor was a bit much after being bedridden so long, so reasted a little while first. Cultures are still clear from yesterday, so that is great news as well. Tommorow they will do a white cell scan to continue to look for any hidden spots of infection or settling in bone/tissue. Line is out of his neck, which makes it much easier for him to move around. Still have not talked specifically about what treatment will be for back/neck, but am assumng we will be having that discussion at next doctor consult tonght, since he is now "stable". Matt does know that he will be on IV antibiotics for the next 6-8 weeks.Thank god for answered prayers!
What a busy crazy day! Curt left right away this morning around 7 to get his blood taken. He got back and then Audrey got here. We played and picked up for a bit then left to go to the Health Department to get our TB test done. We got there around 10ish and they told us we needed to make an appointment. So we waited for a bit to make an appointment. Thankfully they had an opening for today yet. They only do these tests on Friday, so we really didn't want to have to wait until next Friday if at all possible. Got an appointment for 1:15 and 1:30. I was thinking ugh, either no nap and very little nap, but I didn't care! ;) Got home, cleaned up a bit more, got the kiddos some lunch, then we turned around and left to go back to the Health Department. (I did NOT see the water guy! ;)) Got back there, got asked some questions, wanted to know why I need the test... I said adoption. They saw all the other 5 kids and as...
