We got to bring Caden home today. He was so happy that he was given all the nurses two thumbs up and grinning from ear to ear. The doctors were looking for Caden to go 24 hours without fever and be able to sustain his O2 saturation levels in the mid 90s on room air. He did both by noon today.
The caveat is that Caden has to continue to get Rocephion shots every day through Sunday. The pediatrician can give them on Thursday and Friday, but we have to get a nurse to come to our house on Saturday and Sunday. If no home health nurse is available, then we have to go to the ED, that is the new politically correct term for ER. They call themselves an emergency department now from what we were told today.
Please keep Caden in your prayers in the next couple of days. These shots are very painful. Not in a big needle kind of way, but rather the medicine is very painful once it contacts the muscle tissue. The dose is so strong that they give him one in each leg because it would be too much in a single shot. OUCH!!! It hurts to even think about it.
By the way, I forgot to mention that he has been working really hard at potty training. He has been doing pretty good, but there is still work to be done once he is feeling better.
Thanks for keeping up with us and praying for our big boy Caden and our family. Â Many blessings to you and yours.
