Good News for Cody!!

I had a colleague pull Cody's labwork from the computer yesterday and spoke to the pediatrician this morning and it seems as though Cody's previously abnormal blood levels are resolving and returning to normal values. This is great news, seeing as we have been dealing with these abnormalities for almost six weeks secondary to two severe viral infections. He is officially well, FOR NOW!! Thanks for your thoughts and prayers.

Thanks for checking in on us...Lori

Cody is on the road to recovery

As some of you may or may not be aware, Cody has been sick for the past six weeks with the Epstein-Barr virus and the Cytemegalovirus...aka Mononucleosis. He ran fever off and on for 3-4 weeks, had an allergic reaction to an antibiotic, had a swollen spleen and liver, and has had blood drawn 4 times in as many weeks. This Friday, July 18, he returns to the hospital for what I hope is his last blood draw for several weeks. He is very versed in what happens when we visit the lab and it is miserable to hold him down to be stuck, even when you are a PEDIATRIC RN :( I will post the results next week when we receive them, hopefully much improved!!! Please keep Cody in your prayers--he has been so tough the past few weeks!!

Tired mommy, Lori
