Luca is still in hospital and will be there until Wednesday. All the tests are back in and 2 separate forms of bacteria have been found in his lungs, so we are actually dealing with 2 different strains of pneumonia.
The doctors have decided that to fight both infections Luca needs to complete a full 7 days of
intravenous antibiotics. So in the hospital we will stay until then.
There is no Internet connection at the hospital so I am making the most of a quick trip home to pick up more clothes (dh brought a bag to the hospital but not with the right stuff in it!!) The bag contained lots of Fabio's socks and long sleeves tops which Luca can't wear as his IV is at elbow level.
Luca is doing ok. He had a few tears on Friday when the doctors pushed our original departure date back from Saturday to Monday. But he took yesterday's extension to Wednesday in his stride.
By a strange coincidence Fabio's best friend was admitted yesterday and him and his mum are sharing a room with us. They are good company and that is helping keep Luca's spirits up.
