Kaleb Thursday Update-Day #2

We saw Dr. Lee late last night and then early this morning. We will see him again Friday afternoon and hopefully have lab results by then. The sputum culture takes 5-7 days for final report (this will let us know we are on the right IV meds).
Kaleb for sure has some pneumonia in his lower left lobe. From the x-ray it looks like some streaking is there as well and we won't know if that is just this infection or permanent scar tissue until after he is better.
Today we start the new vitamins and daily Zithromax. He shouldn't have any negative side effects of these. We started his IV's yesterday and he has been on them before and they don't have any toxic side effects. They just are so strong they can upset his tummy a bit.
We have no idea how long we will be here because we have to wait and see how he responds to the meds and when his symptoms improve and we have a different doc than normal. He hasn't said anything regarding time other than we have to wait 5-7 days to get all the tests back and make sure he is improving. Even if the cultures come back that he is on the right meds, if his symptoms don't improve in 5-7 days they will switch up the IV's. Labs aren't always right as we have learned.
Thank you so much for your support. Kaleb can have visitors, just call or text, fb first so we can make sure it is a good time. I posted wish list on yesterday's entry but feel free to ask!

We have visitors tonight for Kaleb already and I have meals today at lunch and dinner, and Friday for dinner. Thank you guys for all you do to help us through this.
Make sure to leave us comments here, on fb, and or email! We love to hear from you and it helps pass the time and beat the hospital blues :)

PS Pray for Hannah as she has a basketball game tomorrow and I can't be there :( This is hard on our little girl being away and having all this go on. Pray for Dave as he manages work and our daughter along with the stress of K being in.

EDIT***Kaleb got a water bottle, and the Hero Factory Rocka and Furno. Thanks to our Sunday school class!! He has added any of the other Hero Factory guys :)
