kazuya is currently at childrens legacy hospital. he's been there scince 3pm friday. he came down with a temp of 101.7 and was transfred to the childrens hospital and admitted. the ran blood and urine cultures and did a spinal tap. so far its almost day three and they still dont have a diagnosis besides meningitis, the think it might be viral because the spinal fluid dident have any bacteria but alot of white blood cells which its not suppose to. hes been hooked up to a IV and on a few difrent antibiotics because they cant figure out exactly what it is. they want to do one more test but may have to repeat the spinal tap. after a couple doses of tylonal his fever is starting to break and he's been transitionning pretty roughly. he has chills and his heart rate has been jumping up higher then normal. i had to leave after the first day becasue we dident have anyone to watch luna but iv been calling every 3 to 4 hours to check his progress, but he's currently taking formula until i can get up there tomarrow morning at 5:30 with all the milk iv pumped for him. so far iv got about 15 oz. i miss him so much and cant help but cry when i think about him. i know he's only 11 days old now but it feels so wrong nothaving him with us here. he's not here with us but im not pregnant, i dont even have any thing going on besides pp bleeding so it just feels worng.

please prey for my little guy

I got to see him this morning, it was only for 20 mins but it really ment alot. his fever is broken, and he's been more alert. he stays in the nurses station most of the day because they all love holding him. i got to also bring him about 15oz of breast milk i pumped for him, so im glad he'll have that. he's getting a bad diaper rash from diareeah due to the antibiotics, so he's had his first round of rash cream. the IV in his hand went bad so they had to move it to his foot. he's still on a drip line, due to dehydration because of the diareah. they are going to repeat the spinal tap on monday, and we should get results back on thursday. if it comes back viral then he will be there for another 10 to 21 days, and if it comes back bacterial then it should only be another weeks or so. its so hard not having him here. not having him here for thanksgiving. we decided to just put of theanksgiving till he's home, and then we will have a make up thanksgiving. iv been pumping like clock work, i have an alarm set for every 1 1/2 hours as thats how oftern he's been eating at the hospital. i know im going to keep pumping though, but it feels like its going to be hard. were lighting a candle for him tonight. and i get to see him in the morning.
