day 3

man, right now days feel like weeks. i slept in calvin's room last night and didn't get much rest. he is a pretty hands on guy right now because he is so sick so a nurse is in here almost constantly. he hasn't changed much which is good...while we would love him to start making improvements we are really nervous at the prospect of him getting worse.

the cause of the lung disease is still undetermined at this time. he is retaining a lot of fluid which deviates from typical pneumonias and is cause for some concern. he will probably have another ecg to verify that heart failure is not the cause. our pediatrician is pushing for an infectious disease consult to try and identify what might be causing the infection if it is an infection.

i am continually impressed with the staff here at childrens...especially the nursing group. they are so attentive and competent...we are lucky to be here.

and so we wait.
