Still here...

we are on day number 8 with Sammy in the hospital. When one thing seems to get better, another thing starts to get worse. He has had three IVs put in during the last 8 days and unfortunately, his third one quit working yesterday morning. We gave him a chance to drink on his own, but he only took 15oz all day. So, we are back to having to place another IV. He has lost close to 3 lbs in the last 8 days and will have a NG tube placed in his nose for nourishment and prep for his up coming colonoscopy, endoscopy and PH probe. We are now looking to the GI issues as a source for his continued discomfort and sinus irritation. We will be here for awhile...

Hi guys, I saw the prayer chain and came across your address. I figured it's high time I check it out and that you hear from me. So sorry to read you're having a tough go again. If it ain't one thing it's another, huh? Sam is so fortunate to have such a loving and devoted family to care for him. I will pray you get some answers and that things settle down for all of you in the new year. When are we going to have that coffee we've talked about Erin??
Know you are loved!! Karyl and Ryan
