For Today:

We have been making good progress with this nasty bug but it seems that he is going to possibly have a harder day. He has been eating formula again and they were increasing it slowly. He has been very excited to finally eat and ate what was offered quickly. Now he is refusing. He is also getting fussy. There was a dip in his temperature this morning, another sign that something is up again. The risk with adding food is an infection in his intestine. Please pray that is not where this goes.
Right now he is receiving his transfusion so that is a blessing! We made it through the night with no complications or bleeding from the super low platelets.
He has gained a bit of weight back from the hydration and the iv so that is also a good thing, he needs more but everyone seems happy with where he is. The bigger he gets the easier it is for him to fight this off.
We are looking at a long treatment of antibiotics. Not sure yet how long, they are just trying to keep us prepared for whatever he needs. Pray we all hold up.
We are encouraged that he has made it this far with no seizure activity and those were critical days. God has been merciful to us and especially close to Landon as I know that so many of you have been praying for him. Thank you.
