I have been meaning to update for the past few days, but things have been pretty hectic the past few weeks. Nathan has been sick with a respiratory virus. We had managed to keep him out of the hospital the whole time BUT then he started having some serious side effects from the antibiotics and we ended up having to take him to the ER for deydration. We have been here one night but we are hoping that we will be going home later today. We can usually keep up on his fluids, but they were coming out as fast as we were putting them in. So he had some IV fluids plus every test imaginable and he is doing much better.

We HATE the hospital and try so hard to keep Nathan out. Most of our Drs. understand that we can take care of Nathan much better at home, so we usually work together to do everything possible to keep Nathan out. He is so complicated that most Drs. and nurses are a little "freaked" out by the adorable little guy that there is a tendancy to either overreact or having no clue what needs to be done for him.

The great news is that one of our favorite Drs.'collegue and one of his nurses were working the floor this weekend and they made sure we got our own room!!! Being in the hospital is bad enough, but having to share a room makes it so much worse. They have both been working hard to make sure all of our needs are being met. We are just now hoping, praying and waiting to be let home.
