Day 17 Part 2

Part 2. William seems to be having a better day today. His heart rate has been down to the 120 range and his blood pressure was around 112/60 (78). His fever is still on a Yo-Yo ride but, all the blood cultures have come back negative, and because we are now going on our 5th day with this fever, the Dr.'s have placed him on a third antibiotic... William's fluid yesterday was negative 10.... not exactly what we were hoping for but, I am still happy with any negative numbers. William received a transfusion earlier today so because of that I believe he will positive on his fluid numbers today.... but that’s okay, tomorrow will be a new day and we can try to get rid of some of it then. Randell bought William a remote controlled helicopter and this morning William and I were giggling while daddy was trying to figure out the controls..... It was so good hearing Williams little giggle and seeing him smile. It's amazing how daddy's always know exactly what to do at the right moments :) Grandma has the night off tonight; hopefully she can relax and reward herself with a well deserved glass of wine. I had the night off last night and spent the night at home with Randell. It was extremely weird and a teary eyed setting the dinner table for two instead of three. I know that William will be home soon enough (min of 3 more weeks in the hospital) but, in the meantime the house is just awfully quiet and boring without him running up and down the stairs, yelling at the dogs for eating his toys, getting mad at the cat for getting hair on his bed and arguing with me or daddy about something small and trivial… Thank you for all the continued prayers and love. Keep on Keeping on.
