Well things were progressing a little too well. Brandon has developd a low grade fever. The Doctors aren’t sure yet what is causing it. They are waiting on some test results to see if it is an infection starting. Brandon has now been in the hospital for 15 days and is becoming VERY cranky. Today was one of the worst. Nothing made him happy!! Still having trouble getting him to eat and drink. They have stopped the IV fluids during the day to see if he will drink liquids on his own. His volume is so low that they are still having to give him the fluid all night. We try all day long to push liquid. I had my follow up visit on Friday and was told approx. 6 more weeks till the swelling and pain go away. We just gave Brandon some pain medication and put him to sleep. Last night he only slept about 4 hours so he {and mike} are very tired.

THANK YOU for the messages!!
Please continue to keep us in your prayers. Julie
