Good night from the windy city

Well things are about the same his temperature went back up to 101 but has gone down again with ice packs and hydrocodone. He is resting well. He does have coughing spells at times but not real often. We are looking forward to mom & dad blunier being back home and coming up this weekend to be with us for support. So far it's been fine. They are going to start him on an antibiotic (merapenim) tonight yet and possible wean him off of the oxygen if he can tolerate it. But he is comfortable and sleeping now. Tommorrow they will start him on another antibiotic (vancomycin-which he has a mild reaction to, but they are going to try it with some other methods) as well. The nurses are great here! We are thankful for Dr. Dilling because he is on call while we are here, keep him and his family in your prayers as they have baby twins so he is a fairly new daddy and working crazy hours, he does a GREAT job! Also a big thanks to Jane Thomas for the snack that got me through my day...i finally ate something at about 4 tonight but not before my blood sugar dropped on me which makes me thankful for the other families there at the Ronald Mcdonald house that gave me some of their orange juice. We have many people that we come in contact with all from the ER techs, front desk clerks, transport,nurses, security, shuttle drivers and of course our Dr's that we appreciate so much. There is AT LEAST one in every one of these departments that knows me when we come up here and asks how we are doing I even have a security guard that if he knows I am here and he helps me, he takes a great care of me to make sure I am safe.
We hope everyone had a good day and hope you have a good rest of your week.
As we never have time to forget...GOD IS IN CONTROL...we are so thankful HE is!
