Today was a pretty uneventful day. I received my test results, and as it turns out, I have been diagnosed with "the pert". I have a slight tickle cough since yesterday, so I'm hoping my early doses of antibiotics will curb this. It means that I, too, am not allowed in public until Sunday. It's not like I planned to be anywhere anyway.
Chris is on the antibiotics too, but was not swabbed. I'm sure he has it too - but his body is fighting it. However, its not stopping him from walking around telling me I have "the pert".
Mason is puking still today, so we're trying different ways of doing the meds to prevent it. We've been giving him Zolfran before his other medicines to see if that helps. We decreased how much saline he is getting through the IV so that we can get him more hungry and get him eating. So far, he's just drinking Pediasure, and not much...but we're confident we can get that up to par tomorrow.
They teased us with a discharge tomorrow, so we're hoping that can still happen.
Mason's coughing spells are still every 20-30 minutes, and are worse when he is sleeping, which is weird. The coughs sound non-productive, which is frustrating at times because you just want him to stop but he can't.
Now Mason is cuddling in for the night. Chris and I are both staying so we're hoping for a solid 5-6 hour stretch.
Good night!!!
