Fever

Josh has had a temp today, they took lots of cultures and put him on antibiotics again. He didn't feel very well the first part of the day but seemed to be feeling better later in the day. Not a lot has happened today, I suppose because it is the weekend. I have been feeding him ice chips and a little cup of ice cream today to keep up with his swallowing, his mouth is pretty sore inside from when he had the vent in. His tongue is still covered in a whitish film and cracks and bleeds. I hope it improves by Monday morning so that he can eat. He has been talking more today which is good for his brain to catch up a bit, his responses seem faster to me today. He is able to shift himself a tiny bit in bed, not much yet, but he is getting stronger.

I have been a little home sick today, missing my kids and just being home. I think about what it will be like to have us all home again together, I can't wait for this day, it can't come soon enough. I miss looking at the clock and knowing Josh is going to be home from work soon. I miss eating dinner together and talking about our day. I miss taking care of my family. I want so much for Josh to get better quick and I know he is going to have some bad days still, I just hope the bad ones don't keep the good ones from coming. Thank you to my family who is taking such good care of my kids, I can't wait until Friday when we can all be in the same room again! Much Love, Denise
