February 29th update
Gpa/ma Page took Bennett to his pediatrician appt today. His Dr. decided to do a chest x-ray because of hearing congestion in his chest. We waited on pin and needles to find out that he had no pneumonia! He prescribed an antibiotic called cefdinir. He indicated that this antibiotic has been working the best to get rid of patient’s cough/congestion. So glad he went today so maybe now it will be cleared up by Tuesday because he has a spinal tap. If he has any congestion, they may delay treatment. His Dr. doesn’t want him to be sedated if he has congestion in his lungs.
When I called his nurse in St Louis, she indicated she had been sick all last week with it. And Bennett’s Dr. is still wearing a mask because she is still coughing after 3 weeks.
Bennett said he felt better this morning. He had a little more energy. He may be worn out tomorrow but I am happy that he went to a friend’s house tonight to play xbox!! It’s been about a month since he has hung out with friends.
He hopes to feel good enough tomorrow to go to Hamilton’s all star future Rangers games!
We think often of all our friends that we have met at St Louis Children’s Hospital and pray for their healing!
“My whole being follows hard after you and clings closely to you; your right hand upholds me.” Psalm 63:8
Hi Bennett, Cindy & Family!
Just wanted to pop in and wish you good luck next week with all your treatments. I hope this weekend you feel up to hangin out with your friends before you head up. Just wanted to let you know we keep you in our thoughts and prayers each day and hopefully eveything with go smoothly this round with little or no side effects.
I love Billy Bobs pork chops. Think they only have them on Tuesday though. But when I had them they melted in your mouth, probably the best Ive ever had. Now you got me hungry for Billy Bobs
Good Luck this week, will be thinking of you!
Hugs
Roger, Tami & Abbie
