Good Evening Friends - This week sure is testing. We found out today that Bo has a blood fungal infection. The doctors have already begun treating this with antibiotics and hopefully soon we will see some reduction and the infection clearing up. I wish I could say this isn't a big deal, but anytime you are immune suppressants you do not want infections. They are controllable and treatable, you just always want to be one step ahead of them so they do not get out of control. I do fear that this is one of the less common infections, therefore making it more serious. Please pray that their medicine they are giving will work and work quickly. We have come so far, I just want him home.
On top of the infection, Bo is also having a reaction to one of his antibiotics. Which means he has a itchy rash all over him...not too harmful, quite uncomfortable. On the bright side of things, Bo finally has the Benadryl that he has been requesting for a month now to help him sleep (this is what he would take at home to help him sleep)
So I guess today is one of those days when one things leads to another...hopefully soon we will start riding the ride up, because this down swing is not fun. Bo is resting well and hopefully they will just let him rest over the weekend. I think Bo just needs some down time. Addi and I are off to get some ice cream...with chocolate syrup, sprinkles and a cherry!
Love to all
Christi, Addi and Bo

Dear Christi,
You are all being tested! I pray all the meds kick in and help clear all infections and that Bo gets some rest. Addi makes things somewhat lighter and ice cream with sprinkles and a cherry is always good for what ails anyone. Please know so many care for you three and feel frustration at only being able to pray and send a note. Love to you,
Kay
