This morning I talked with the radiology people about Drew's CT tomorrow. We have to be there at 6:15 am! And we have to check out of the hotel by 11. So, we've got to figure out how we're going to get all of that done. The rules are no food after midnight, clear liquids til 4:30 am, then nothing til after the CT. They plan on putting Drew out, then starting a "big IV," injecting the contrast and starting the scan. I hope it all goes well, I'm sure that it will, but it seems like it's a bigger deal than I thought it was. I'm mostly concerned about his mental state, I don't know how he'll react to going back to the hospital for a procedure.
Today we are going to spend more time at Grandma's house and maybe visit the duck pond. Hopefully the next post will be letting you know that we're on our way home!

Both kids loved the rabbit!
Drew holding his linezolid infusion ball--it's pretty cool, you just connect it to the IV port and unclamp the line and in it goes!

OOOhhh, I am the first to comment! Loved seeing all the cute pictures! Hoping and praying to see you guys tomorrow...
YAY for silliness and zoos and fun things. I'll be praying for the CT scan to go smoothly tomorrow and then for you to be sent HOME! Everything will be great, I can feel it. You guys soooo deserve to be home where you can start healing from this experience.
Sending love and prayers your way!

Drew and Ava fit in that bath tub better than they fit in our kitchen sink! They look terrific! We'll be on our morning walk tomorrow so it will be perfect timing to pray for Drew as he walks into the hospital. We'll pray for peace for each of you, and wonderful, clear, healthy results!
Love,
Linda
I love seeing him in these pictures, he looks so happy and back to normal. I am praying for a great Ct so you can come on home! We miss you so much!!
Another fundraiser on my blog.....check it out!
Can't wait to see you guys!
yes, this is the way things should be. zoo trips and silly bath-time. just shift everything three hours east-northeast and it's just right! See you tonight, hopefully for the very LAST time in palo alto!!!
I hope it all goes well tomorrow. To make it easier to organize everything why not keep the hotel room for another day so you can check out after the procedure and head straight out.
It's so nice to see Drew back to being a regular kid. I love the self portrait of the two of you looking oh so cute and happy.
I am praying hard that all goes well for Drew tommorrow and you get to come home to us. Be ready for lot's of time hanging out to makeup for lost time.
I bet Ava's happy to take baths with her brother again. Are they fighting yet? Then you know your back to normal.
We can't wait to see you!
Love,
