Right before I left tonight, the nurses came in wondering where Joshua's new IV line was.  For what?  Antibiotics.  I have not been told of any infection but it is possible that he may have one.  Guess I'll find out more tomorrow.  In the meantime (and I'm sure the nurses think I'm a whacko) they have been instructed by me not to insert any line until I have had a chance to talk to the doctor.  He has been having his recurrent problem with low blood pressure and has not been feeling real great the last couple of days.  I don't know what this may do to the planned discharge - they don't give 24 or 48 hours of IV antibiotics and then stop; a regular course is 10 days.

More news - the home therapy program doesn't have any therapists available so we are heading for a day program for outpatients in Henderson (less of a drive, which is a blessing).  We can continue to travel in order for Joshua to have speech therapy but we've pretty much decided we will not travel and I will work with Joshua on his speech myself.

Coming home seemed so close yesterday but if Joshua needs to have a full course of antibiotics we're all for it and we will deal with a little longer stay if we have to.  We just don't want to. 

We have what should be our final team meeting tomorrow.  Please pray for whatever "infection" has caused this concern on the part of the physicians and that there will be a simple solution and that Joshua will, in fact, be able to come home as planned.

Also, please continue to pray for Pastor Mike and Jennifer as they wait on the antibiotics to overcome the pneumonia.
