Well were this close to having Jack come home tomorrow but things kind of derailed mid-way there. The doctors tried to put the PICC line (for continued i.v. antibiotics) in this afternoon but his little veins were too small. So despite showing huge improvement - drinking lots of milk and eating lots of Cheerios - he is going to be stuck at the hospital until at least Monday. A different doctor who is more experienced with PICC lines for little kids will be back from a conference then and he can give it a go. We will keep our fingers crossed.
Other than that, things continue to move along. He was much more himself today and he giggled while playing peek-a-boo with me. He seems to have full range of motion back in his neck and hopefully he will be eating like normal tomorrow. Sitting up by himself and walking are next. I have feeling that he will be running the hospital's halls by Sunday.
Until tomorrow - goodnight.
