We left the hospital and everything got crazy!! I have been trying to play catch up and the blog made the list today. I didn't post that Jon had the blood transfusion last Monday before he even left the hospital. It took his hemoglobin from a 7 to a 9 so we hope it continues to climb.
Jon was doing ok at home, but after a few days he developed an awful cough and was having difficulty breathing. As most of you know, we have had a HUGE mouse infestation in our house. We didn't know if that could be affecting him or if it could be the swamp cooler bringing in dust or something. The morning after his cough started my mom called to see how he was doing, and I explained it to her and she said it would be a good idea to have him stay at her house, at least until we got the mice problem taken care of. So we packed him up and he is staying with my parents for now. I have been going back and forth to get our house cleaned up. I emptied every cupboard and closet and disinfected everything. I finished today, I don't think my house could be any more clean, at least the inside. We still need to take care of the garage. I am going to have help coming for that one, so in the meantime I will still go back and forth as needed and stay nights here with Jon, it may be difficult to catch us at home. If you need to contact us or want my cell phone number or anything, you can email me at hcarbine@gmail.com
Today I called Dr McDonald to talk to him about the cough and the fact that Jons swelling still hasn't gone down at all. He told me he wanted to see Jon immediately. We went in and he looked Jon over and listened to his lungs and then sent us to the hospital for a chest x-ray and lab work. We will get the results tomorrow. If his kidney function is fine, then he will go on a medication, if there seems to be problems with the kidney, he may be re-admitted to the hospital so he can be monitored again. Pray that the kidney functions are normal and it can just be treated at home.
To leave on a positive note: Our baby is turning 1 this week!!!! Kenzie's Birthday is Wednesday, she is such a joy to us!!!
