This is coming a bit late...Wes was discharged Thursday afternoon. He was so excited to be home and see his big brothers, who gave him a loving welcome home. (the kind that just melts my heart)
Overall Wes has been doing well. Saturday we went back to Tallahassee to visit Papa and do some big birthday shopping. Shhhhhhhhhhh, Wes is getting a train and table set!
Saturday afternoon he spiked a fever, but seemed fine the next day...Sunday night brought another fever, Tuesday, and then again today. Highest fever was Saturday, 103.7. Rest have been 100-101.5. Fevers typically break with Tylenol and he seems fine. Yesterday Dr. Curry ordered another chest x-ray. His pneumonia has not cleared, but this can take sometime. NO, palate surgery until he has a clear chest x ray, which will likely take a month or so. Today his chest sounded pretty good. Dr. Curry feels it is possibly the flu, since he sat in the ER for nearly 12 hours. He has been on a preventive dose of Tamiflu and yesterday started a treatment dose.
Hope to have him on the mend by Sunday so he can enjoy his big Elmo birthday celebration! My baby boy is just days away from his 2nd birthday. Pictures soon of big boy Wes!
