Zachary’s tummy is still pretty BIG.. They just did another Chest and Tummy X-ray..
The result.. His tummy is still full of fluid, but now he has Bilateral Pleural effusion.. So they see alot of fluid pockets around his lungs.
The Tummy is still full of barium from Oct.5.. These DRS have never seen Barium in somebody this long..
The plan is to give him GO-Lightly.. Not Fun.. In hopes to clean him out.

Zachary is also still throwing up and is very nausea. I can’t wait for all this to blow over and see him feeling better soon.

The State Health Department has new rules for hospital visitors..
Zachary cannot have any visitors under age 16.. Because of the SwinFlu..
And then for our family, no one under age 5!! That means I can’t see Austin unless I leave. I talked to the nurses and they said, lately we have been living here so they would let us have special visits once in a while. But they would have to screen Both Kiley and Austin before they even come in.

We just need to get out of here..

Thank you, for all your thoughts and prayers,
Stacey

Zachary has a visitor...He was just a little scared..

That is definately one scary visitor!

And one huge tummy!

Zachary is in our prayers daily. We will be in Mpls on the 3rd and 4th. Sounds like visitors of the young, viral carrying variety will not be allowed though, huh? I am sure that is for the best.
