I know it's been a couple of days since an update on Noah, which is actually a good thing. He had a great Super Bowl, although still pretty weak. Luca was especially happy to see his buddy and wanted to play with him - a lot. After we explained that Noah was sick, Luca let him rest and all was well. Especially the end of the Super Bowl... GO STEELERS! (We are so proud of our team!)
Noah still has is PICC line in and is receiving IV antibiotics every day. A home health nurse came on Monday to document that Jaime (a home health nurse, herself) could administer the meds and care for the PICC line. From that point on, Jaime has been giving Noah his meds, dressing the wound in his side and caring for his central line.
On Friday Noah will see the ID doctor at Children's again. She had called Jaime and told her that she will most likely keep Noah on the IV abx for 2 weeks because it took so long for him to become afebrile. Their goal is to prevent any further fluid accumulation in the lung and keeping him on the abx for an additional week may help.
Noah went back to school yesterday, and had a bit of a rough time with the transition. However, today went much better! Jaime said that he still is very pale, though, and we need to continue to pray for increased strength for Noah.
Thank again for reading this update. He's in the homestretch!
