After Sam finished his second round of IV meds, he seemed to feel better for about four days. We were able to enjoy watching him in his Christmas program at CCHS. He was a perfect little donkey and even "hee hawed" by hitting his switch. We have lots of fun pictures that I will post when we get home.
Sam was admitted to the hospital again on Monday December 21st. He continued to get worse throughout the weekend and we ended up needing pain control for him again. He will be having sinus surgery on Wednesday morning (12/23) which will be a similar surgery to the one he had on October 1st 2009. He is also on yet another antibiotic to try and get rid of the infection in his sinuses. We are praying that this finally clears up the problem that we have been dealing with for the past two months. Sam will also have an upper GI to determine if his reflux is causing the problems with his sinuses. He has severe reflux and we treat it with a lot of Prevacid, but that does not stop all of the issues associated with it. On a good note, his seizures have been much less frequent than earlier this fall. The new medication we added after our trip to St. Paul has been a good choice for Sam.
We would love to say that we will be home for Christmas, but it is looking less like a possiblity right now. We are taking things one day at a time and will see how things progress for our little guy! He is a trooper and so resiliant. I'm so proud of him every day and so thankful for the wonderful team of doctors that we have working with us! Merry Christmas to you and may God bless you with much joy and happiness in 2010.
