Back Home

Well things change day to day around here. We just found out a couple of things.

1. Bridger is very allergic to the clear hospital tape. He had a bad reaction and a rash anywhere the Central line bandage and the steri strips were placed. It also involved the cleaning solution they used to clean his chest and lower back. They fixed the problem around his central line by giving him fake skin. It sticks to him with a different kind of glue made for sensitive skin. All the tape will stick to the fake skin instead of his real skin. So we know what the rash is from and now that they have changed all the bandages he is not scratching himself to death.

2. Bridger has tested positive twice in the last week for the Rhino Virus. It is a very common virus. They asked me if we had been around anyone who was sick? I said we have been in the hospital for four days! Bridger still has a dry cough and a little stuffy nose. Our Dr. thought it best if we put everything on hold until his symptoms are gone. The doctors has told us they will move forward as soon as his visible symptoms are one, even if his bloodwork comes back positive for the virus.

So we made it home today around 11:30 this morning. Bridger is very happy to be playing in his house. We are glad the doctors are being so cautious with him and need your prayers that he will get well soon. We are going back on Friday and hope to be admitted on Sunday. Our admittance has to be on a Sunday or Tuesday because of special testing that has to be done that can only be done on Mondays or Wednesdays.
