re-united after a few weeks of being apart. Woodie had gotten dirty from being accidentally put in the hospital washing with all the blankets so he had to go home to be cleaned and disinfected. BUT the two of them are very happy to be re-united. As you can see Jason is looking a whole lot
better.
Dr. P and Prof B are happy with Jason’s progress and happy to see that he is looking so well. They are just a little worried that the 5 day course of antibiotics will not be enough and have therefore decided that 7 days will be necessary especially since he has a feeding tube and they don’t want to risk the chance that this virus/bacteria or whatever it is isn’t killed once and for all. So we are here until at least Wednesday or Thursday to complete the antibiotics. Seems like the days keep moving on for us. I was hoping today then on Saturday we thought it was Monday and now it’s Wednesday or Thursday. Oh well as long as
Jason is getting better and we kill this thing, that’s the main thing!! I had another long chat with Prof B. about Jason, his condition etc. He advised that the kidney problem is something that we do have to attend to and do further testing for but what he would like done is first the urology procedures, the circumcision and urethra dilation, allow Jason to recover from that and once Jason is healthy and off all medication he can do further testing. The medication would affect the test results therefore we cannot do anything now. He advised in 2 to 3 weeks to do the urology procedure. Give Jason some time to recover and then when he is healthy to do that but not to leave it too long either.
Otherwise today was Mother’s Day. Happy Mother’s day to all you special mommies out there. The love of a child, wow isn’t it such a different kind of love? You will do ANYTHING for your children no matter how young or old they are. They are forever in your heart and mind. I managed to spend some quality time with Nicole at home a bit. Then some time with my own precious mommy and this afternoon spent some time with Jason and Bruce. I had a great day and was spoilt rotten. I am picking up weight with all the chocolates, biscuits, cake and biltong while being here. Ouma Huipie popped in to visit us today which was a lovely surprise. Jason, myself and Nicole were spoilt rotten – naughty Ouma!!!
Anyhow that’s all my news, not too much to report today. The best news ever is Jason is doing well and we are on the “Final Countdown” to going home :-)
