Still Waiting...

Grant had a little fever last night, but did not get high enough that they had to treat it. He slept really well and is feeling good this morning. He has been eating cheerios like crazy which is convenient b/c they are available on our floor. He also asked to try Rudy's hamburger for the first time last night and liked it. He was very excited to eat pancakes for breakfast this morning.
They took another blood sample early this morning, but it clotted before they tested it. So, they will have to come back to take another sample at 11:30. We've seen a medical student in the practice that is following Grant this morning, but are still waiting to see Dr. Heym. I assume we won't see him until after we have the results of the CBC. Right now, Grant is content to watch tv. (Our tv is really terrible. It doesn't have any green in the picture. He watched Cars last night and Chick Hicks was brown. He doesn't seem to care.) He is still very congested, which the antibiotics are supposed to be helping with. He is on 2 of the strongest, all-encompassing antibiotics. He will not be able to leave the room b/c his numbers are so low. They don't want him exposed to anything. And, apparently, they have to wait 6-10 days for the results of the H1N1 test b/c they send it to the state. I would be shocked if it was positive b/c he doesn't feel that bad. We will keep you posted.
