Hello everyone. The last week has been crazy but I wanted to give everyone an update. I have been sick for the past few days with a sinus infection, bad cough due to bronchitis, and low grade fever. I actually lost my voice for a couple of days and still don't have it back completely but am back at work. Most importantly, and sadly, my 13 month old grandson is still in the hospital. It's been 2 weeks today since he went in. His IV and oxygen were finally removed a couple of days ago but IV had to go back in due to him not eating enough and getting dehydrated again. They did a swallow test yesterday and everything showed normal albeit their was some delayed swallowing. They put a feeding tube in his nose and took the IV back out. He is holding up like a champ and still smiling! Mommy and daddy are exhausted and just loving and cuddling their boy while he slowly improves. Keeping my fingers crossed as they are planning a trip out here for a week long visit 2 weeks from today. At this point, they're still planning on it. Please keep little Orion and his mommy and daddy in your thoughts and prayers! Thank you.
