GOING HOME (more or less)

JD has the ok to go home. We are sooo happy! His spinal tap went well yesterday. They got the fluid and his white blood cells are down from 300 to 36 (or so). So that is great! We will continue antibiotics at home, through his PICC line. He also has lactobacillus probiotic. To mix with yogurt and eat. That helps give him the good bacteria he needs. Then he has Flagyll to take by mouth every 8 hours? He hates that. It will be a battle every time. But I don't care as long as we aren't here! He is doing very well. Uncle Bryson came with Gram and Gramp Cluff yesterday and he just lit up! He doesn't get excited to see anybody but Bryson. It is so cute. He loved playing Legos with Bryson. He told me I could leave and Bryson could stay. That is HUGE! Even when Josh stayed with him he called me a couple times crying that he missed me and was scared. We have to come back in 2 weeks to do a check-up for his appendicitis. Then in another 2 weeks or so, we will have the brain surgery. We are praying with all our might that he will stay healthy until then! Anyone know of a good BUBBLE we can use to put him in! With Josh's drive, it only took 10 HOURS for him to drive home. Two semis jack-knifed and the roads were at a stand still for hours. Poor guy. What a couple of weeks. WOWZA! Thanks for the thoughts prayers and strength. We can't express our gratitude enough.
