Well Luca slept well last night which is a great relief. I did not sleep much but that is ok. I seemed to spend the night watching his heart/o2 monitor (do other parents find themselves doing that at night in hospital?) and praying for him and other sick children around the world and slept very little.
The nurses also came in every half hour from 11:00 pm until 5:30 am so it was a busy night.
His fever is coming down this morning and his O2 is up from the 80s into the low 90s and he seems less weak this morning so hopefully the antibiotics are beginning to do their stuff. Thank goodness we are blessed to live in a part of the world where these treatments are so readily available to us.
He is still quite happy to just rest in bed, but once he starts getting restless I will be happy (for once :) ) as it will mean he is really on the road to recovery!
This is Luca's 3rd bout of pneumoia in 5 months, and late last night the pedeatrican on call sat and talked with me about further possible testing to see if he has a, as yet, undetected immunity problem. As I understood last night this will only involve a series of blood tests (at a specialised hospital 3 hours away) but it seems like a good path to take.
Thank you for checking in on Luca.
