7-7-07 is NOT SO LUCKY Afterall

So you would think with all the media coverage about today, 7-7-07 it would be a lucky day......well it's a lie. What seemed to be the start of a normal day, Soren came running up to me complaining about pain near his medi-port. I thought it was minor until I realized the look on his face. I grabbed the thermometer and proceeded to take his temp. 99.5 that was high but nothing alarming. About 5 minutes later his temp came back at 100.7. My fear set in about that time my wife came home from the grocery store. We took his temp for the eighth time only to see 101. I called the hospital immediately and was told that he would have to be admitted. I think my wife said it best when I arrived. She said something like, "I hate coming here". As we got our room the nurse and doctor rushed in to see how Soren was doing. It turned out that he has an infection that would result in a surgery that would replace the medi-port with a new one. He is on several antibiotics with some side effects and they told us that at minimum he would stay here until Friday. So here we are typing on our blog and the funny thing is my wife says (sarcastically) "Today is 7-7-07 a supposedly lucky day".....well so much for lucky but PLEASE PRAY FOR SOREN. He is going through a lot this week.

P.S.
As much as we don't like being here at the hospital we really do appreciate the facility and the staff. We are so grateful that we do live so close. We are also very grateful to all the nurses and Doctors who care for our son! Everyone here is so pleasant and helpful.
