How things looks today...

I have very little to update. I think my brain has become mush regardless, so it's probably a good thing that I don't have to push it very much for information.

A team of people came in this morning to see B.E.  There was an attendee, some residents, and some grad students.  (Please all you medical people, if I'm using the wrong terms, forgive me!)  Hubby said it was like a scene from Grey's Anatomy.  The attending doctor asked one of the residents to go over the case.  The resident read through the facts and verified them with hubby.  I was really disappointed that we weren't able to have our original doctor, but my disappointment didn't last long.  Hubby said our new doctor looks just like Sandra Oh.  And everyone knows that Dr. Cristina Yang is one of the best heart doctors around.  I mean, seriously people, she almost single-handedly saved Callie a couple weeks ago.  We couldn't be in better hands!!! 

Ok, back to reality! :)  The IVIG finished at about 1pm.  B.E.'s eyes and lips are looking better.  His rash really hasn't changed much.  He managed to VERY slowly walk to the bathroom, so at least he's bearing weight on his feet now.  They performed an ECHO on him again, and we're still awaiting the results.  This is probably a good thing, as I'm sure they'd have responded quickly if there was a problem.  So, once again we're on a 24 hour hold to see how his symptoms react to the infusion.  The doctor doesn't usually make her rounds until the evening, so I'm assuming it'll be at least until then before we're able to leave.  As much as I'm ready to be out of here again, I want to make sure that we've got this thing kicked and we won't have to come back.

Until tomorrow...

Unless, of course, I feel the need to unleash my feelings of the evening!  ;)

Thanks for the update. I've checked a million times. I saw online that it is kind of common for these things to take two rounds or so of the IVIG to get knocked- so I hope this 1, 2 punch will end your ordeal. I'm so glad he's walking again. And how great to have Sandra Oh on the case!
