We're back!

Just a quick note to ask for your prayers for Cason. He had a stomach bug (we think) over the weekend, so we did some blood work at Upson Regional yesterday afternoon. The results showed that he was very dehydrated so we took him to Egleston last night on the advice of our pediatrician. We were hoping that he could just get a night's worth of IV fluids and come home today, but it looks like he may be there for a while. A culture taken from his port line is already growing some sort of staph infection which is a little scary. We are praying that this is simply a contaminant because, if it is an accurate culture, he will have to remain in his room to prevent the spread of the infection. Obviously this makes for long days in the hospital...

We rejoice in the fact that this is his first hospital stay since transplant and we're hoping that we'll be able to get him home quickly. Thanks for your prayers.
