We went in to clinic today to get his Allergy shot and his Doc wants to put him in for a "tune up" nothing I wasnt expecting with his Right lower lobe partially collapsed last time he was X-rayed. So, They want to do some Aggressive CPT and Some IV Antibiotics and IV Steroids. He always responds well to steroids.

Hopefully it will be a short stay. Maybe a week or up to 10 days. But we are going to pack for the longest and pray for the shortest. He is excited about seeing his "girlfriends", the nurses on the Peds floor. Thats what he calls them. This hot six year old of mine!

Anyway, I will be bringing my laptop and will be sucking it up with dial up for a few days so bear with me if I venture into chat.

Talk to you all later. Keep G-Man in your prayers!

P.S. Last time he was in some of you wanted to send him some things and get well cards and they got sent back from the hospital. I am going to PM Jeanne (Imogene) and Terri(kayleesgrandma) my home address so if you feel like sending him something you can send it to that address and I will bring it into the hospital. But dont feel obligated by any means!

Jessica,

Thank you very much for the prayers. No this far from his first time in. They know Garran very well on the Peds Ward unfortunately. But He had a Port a Cath Placed last October so we were hoping that Hospital stays would be less frequent. Since we can do the IV's at home. and they have been, but his Doc just wants to get the extra treatments and such in I guess and keep a good eye on him.

All in all the "tune up's" arent what scare me, it is when he is really sick that gets me down. Right now he is kinda in between. We have been battling this issue with his right middle lobe for over a year, and now the lower lobe just decided to collapse.

It can be very disheartening, because otherwise everything else is going well for him, he is gaining weight well for the first time in a long time, and finally eating again after two years of not wanting to.

I hope that things go well for your daughters first time in and that you dont get too stressed out, be sure to bring in lots of stuff for her to do and for you to do as you will get bored as well. Thank the Lord for Laptops!

Also they should have someone in the Peds ward like a child life specilist that should have stuff for the kids to do and that should help some. Most hospitals have them.

Why is it that these hospital stays always come in between paydays? Is it to test my patience!!!!!

Anyway....talk to you all soon!
