Funny Tidbits..

Henry looking at his bag of collected hair. I didn't get a good chunk before it all fell out. Oh well.
I brought Joel breakfast yesterday morning and all Henry wanted was the tin foil. And he refused to let me throw it away. So silly.

The hair in the back disappeared first and now he just has wisps..definitely going to shave it today so it looks better.
The Doctor came in yesterday to tell us that the bacteria in his blood was the Streptococcus strain lactococcus...lactococcus is found in dairy products, and his bug specifically is a type of cheese lactococcus.. which cheese you ask?... Brie. I'm not sure how that happened.. but all we care about is that the antibiotics worked in killing it off. I would have though it would be the cheese whiz stuff found in Ritz bitz snacks.. those are Henry's favorite. Kind of weird.
Today Henry is having the BAL done, test on his lungs, to find out if a bacteria is growing in his lungs and what it may be. Hopefully it will be nothing and hopefully he'll be able to recover quickly from the ventilator. The Doctors are pretty sure he'll remain on the ventilator for a while but I think he's much stronger than they give him credit. Not sure yet what time the procedure will be, he's an add on so whenever they have extra time they will call us. Joel gave him a blessing last night and although the Doctors are extremely concerned I feel at peace. We are trying to have greater faith in the Lord and his plan for Henry. It does get hard, but I KNOW he's watching over him and giving us strength. We'll keep you posted. Much love to you all.
