The morning was filled with bad news. Due to vomitting, Landon would remain on a clear liquid diet until the vommitting ceased. The poor boy hasn't had a real meal since about 6pm on Wednesday. The really bad news is landon is growing Pseudomonas again. This is a nasty bacteria that doesn't effect you & I, but is no bueno for people with CF. Landon had a culture in mid May that did not show pseudomonas, so we caught it early. They will treat this with and IV antibiotic called Tobramycin. Because of the combination of the pseudomonas & vommitting, we are looking at another 3-5 day stay in the hospital. When we are released, he will most likely be on the inhaled form of the antibiotic which is a 28 day cycle, to make sure the bacteria is gone.
The evening was filled with good news includig that Landon is beginning to act like himself. He took a 3 hour nap this afternoon & I only hit the morphine button once this afternoon. He was interacting with me & the nurses. He still stayed in bed all day, but I feel like tomorrow he'll want to get down and play, maybe even roam the halls. This may be TMI, but Landon was very gassy this afternoon which was a great sign that everything is working properly and right when the doctor came in to check on him tonight he pooped!! This prompted her to allow Landon to have his favorite Yo Yo!!
He was one happy boy!! Landon was also excited that he finally got to have Pediasure in his cup. Or as he likes to call it "chock" with a "k" sound instead of a "ch" sound. We just love that he calls his milk that(please not the sarcasm).
I'm so excited to have my little boy coming back!! I did not care for the dazed & confused looks I've been given the last 2 days. Now our next battle to overcome is Landon not being so scared of anyone coming towards his belly to replace or remove the feeding tube.
Thinking about u guys and praying antibiotics work well and he makes good progress to come home. Love u.
