Make-A-Wish Trip & A Bump In The Road

We have been having a wonderful time here in Florida - even with the humidity and heat (90 degree weather - and high humidity in October - really?!?!?!).

I'll write more about our adventures when we return.

In the meantime, I wanted to let everyone know that Alex spiked a fever, and was admitted to the Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children last night (well, early this morning...). We'll be staying for at least 48 hours - but hope to have him well enough to get a 6 hour pass to go Trick-Or-Treating tomorrow night at Disney World.

Tessa-Lynn is in good hands with 3 of her Grandparents, enjoying all the wonderful things to do at Give Kids The World.

In fact, Give Kids The World is working with Make-A-Wish to extend our stay for a few days, so that Alex can experience his whole wish. These groups are truly amazing - and we will be forever grateful for their support of our family through this ordeal.

Alex has a small spot on his lungs, which the doctors are concerned might be the beginnings of pneumonia, so they are treating him with heavy antibiotics. They are also starting him on Tamiflu as a precaution.

He was admitted because his ANC was only 98 last night. This morning it is up to 119, which is trending in the right direction at least. His fever spiked at 103.4 last night, but has been normal since about 2am.

I'll update more as I find out new information.

Thank you for all your support of our sweet boy - we really feel it right now.
