Benjamin got re-admitted to the OHSU this earlier today. My mom will be posting updates on the blog that I mentioned in my last post.

Here's the link to a blog my mom made a while ago. It was intended for updating how my little sister's doing but now it's mostly how Benjamin is doing. He's not doing very well still and he may be admitted BACk to the hospital tomorrow....again =/

Benjamin came home from the hospital today and is sleeping soundly =)

Hey
Ben is in the hospital and this is a copy and pasted paragraph from my mom's blog about how ben is doing.
Well, we're heading in the right direction here. Benjamin has had alot of IV fluid and his labs are cruising back into normal ranges. We found out that he doesn't have mono, one interesting idea they looked into. They seem to like the theory that he has had some virus in his mouth and throat that caused him pain and unwillingness to eat and the initial sickness. As time went on, he became so off balance with his electrolytes (his ostomy is a real wild card when it comes to these illnesses and can get him into trouble quickly) that it became a cycle where he was just unable to take in adequate fluids. It's reassuring to see him sitting up playing with toys in the crib this afternoon, though it's still going to take some coaxing to get him to drink.


Last night his white blood count was a little high and his BUM, which "normally" is about 16, was up to 59. Now it is back down to normal and seems to be getting better =)
thanks for praying =)
