Still In

It is Monday evening and we find ourselves still in the hospital. Carson's fever continues and the IGG infusion that was scheduled cannot be done until the fever comes down some.   Despite the fever, Carson continues to play with Legos and have fun.

He got to leave the room for the first time since Saturday to travel downstairs for a chest X-ray,  that turned out all clear, by the way, despite a very congested cough that continues along with the fever. 

Tomorrow we will try again for the infusion. You may remember that IGG infusions here at the hospital require about 20 hours because they must infuse their particular IGG brand at such a slow rate - or risk bad reactions like shakes, blotchy skin, hallucinations and paranoia from Carson.    So, even if we start the infusion tomorrow, we are looking at another night in the hospital and Carson missing at least the first two days of school. 

We shall see how all progresses tonight and tomorrow. 

I am scheduled for surgery on Friday, so we do hope to be out by then!

More later.....
