We get to go home tonight! Hudson never had to be put back on the I.V. drip. The Ibuprofen and Tylenol seemed to do the trick through the night. Today he had a dose of ibuprofen at 9 a.m. and hasn't had a fever all day. Although, yesterday's fever didn't start until 6ish, but I am just going to be diligent about alternating both pain relievers. The indicator for me today that made me feel comfortable leaving tonight was that he didn't sleep all day like yesterday. He was actually awake for much of the day. We even got to play on a floor mat, and I gave hime nice warm bubble bath too. He has been wide eyed and looking around and moving around too. Another awesome highlight today....I have not seen any tonic seizures....always a treat to get a break, even if it just for most of the day! He still has his cough but we have been doing lots of deep suctioning over the last couple days so he sounds better.
I am coming down with something...sneezing, scratchy throat and cough, chills...hopefully just a cold! Anyways the best place to recover at this point is at home and God forbid Hudsons fever can't be control they told me to come right back through the E.R.
We can use prayers that a return is not in our future and that he slowly recovers and gains his strength.
Can't thank all of you enough who cared to keep up with us and pray as we have endured a very difficult couple of days. A part of me is relieved that we have gone through this and he survived without any major complications...reminds me Gods plans are so much bigger for him than I can ever imagine, and I am so grateful!
