New Update

Well there isn't too much to tell at this point. Some good and some not as good. Nolan had blood work and a urine test today. His white blood cell count has come down some, but not as much as we expected. The other blood test that looks at how much inflammation there is in his body as a result of infection actually went higher, which was frustrating. According to the MD this can happened occasionally, but we will certainly be looking for it to come down soon. His urine still looks rough, but some better than it did. Things just seem to be going a little slower than everyone would like.
Good news is that he is eating very well and is more alert. He has not had a fever since yesterday morning. We are waiting on the cultures and sensitivity to ensure he is on the correct antibiotics.
We want to say thank you so much for all the prayers and encouragement. We are believing that Nolan is healed already, we are just waiting on the labs to show it. We will be in the hospital at least until Sunday. It is a 50/50 chance we will go home that day. Please continue to pray that things get better each day and we can return home soon. Hospitals are no fun! And Jonathan can't stay the night because there is no place for him to sleep. I certainly can't leave because I am Nolan's source of food. It will just be nice to return to some semblance of normalcy.
We'll keep you updated!
