Real quick update....Ryder is still in the hospital.....the test results came back negative for RSV...but he does have Para3-influenza. Yuck. The stool tests said he does not have rotavirus...yay! but he def had a stomach bug.

He's ok, but still pretty sick. He has a HORRIBLE cough! that is so bad it causes him the throw up....last night a bad rash appeared that's part of influenza. They changed his formula to a lactose free formula.....which is working great! his GI Doc was planning on doing that before anyways. He's just miserable. They have a Resp. therapist coming it and pounding his chest and back every 4 hours to break up the congestion....cuz CP kids dont have a strong enough cough to do that themselves. His IV popped out when I left this morning. They said that they would leave it for now, and watch his fluid level closely.....hoping he'll eat enough to stay hydrated. He's only eating 2.5 oz every hour and a half....usually he eats 6-7 oz that often...when hes at full feeds we'll go home....i hope! so just please keep him in your prayers.

as for the move......my family and some friends moved us. Apparentely its all in boxes in my new place.....waiting for me : ) so that'll be fun.

thanks for the comments! OH!! & as for my prior post, Ryder is getting top service now! the nurse manager found out what had happened and was SO MAD!!! shes made sure we are all set with everything now....and even brought us a sweet card saying sorry....and ryder gifts. We are def in good hands now. ...and the Doc is doing great now to....once he talked to Ry's GI DR...it was better for me.
