So, we are still in the hospital. We were hoping to go home yesterday, but he keeps having a fever a couple of times a day. They removed his PICC line on Sunday because he had bacteria in his blood, but now the blood is coming back clean, and he is still having fevers. They are working on figuring it out, but haven't come to any conclusion yet. He is unable to leave the hospital until he goes 24 hours without a fever, and his diarrhea goes away as well. SO we are trying to stay positive, and keep going (not that we have much of a choice)!
On Saturday, Ethan's hair started to fall out, so we shaved his head so it would be less of a mess. The boys had decided beforehand that they wanted to shave their heads when Ethan's hair fell out in order to support him. It was such a sweet gesture, and I was so proud of them! We also had a sweet friend of the family shave his head in honor of Ethan. He is only 9, and it was so sweet of him to care enough to want to do something to support Ethan!
Other than missing being with each other as a family, I think we are doing ok! Thanks to everyone for your prayers and support! It truly makes a difficult time much easier!
