Gage's progress

An update on our little boy. 1st of all thank-you for your comments, thoughts, and most of all your prayers and concern. The lord does hear and answer prayers. Thank-you.

Up until today, Gage has been steadily worsening, increased fluids, additional medicines, etc. BUT, last night the doctor used the word 'stable'. Meaning he not getting any better, but may have found the bottom. He is currently on 8 different med's, a lot of which Sierra was on in the room to our left 2.5 years ago.

When the infection goes 'septic' meaning into the blood stream, in causes all kinds of problems not just in the lungs. Fluid retention, urine output, heart function, blood levels, (and a whole bunch of other stuff I don't understand) all are effected. The doctors have to juggle a lot of meds, waiting for Gage's body to start fighting off the infection.

Last night, Gage started fighting back! There if NO improvement in the pneumonia, the right lung is packed with 'stuff', but he didn't get worse. We will take that.

Today, I am taking the kids over to see Mom and Gage. They all (especially Sierra) wants to see them very bad. They also want to see Oscar and the rest of the fish that are still there from last time.

We will update soon, thanks again for your concern.

I picture of Gage just before we left Baker hospital. (picture is out of order, deal with it)
Gage, and the monitors, and meds. You can see how puffy he has gotten from the fluid retention
We love our son.
