Hospitalization #8 - Day Three

Brett back to his smily self

Going Home today! What a great surprise! The doctors have switched Brett to oral antibiotics so we get to escape from here in record time! We still have the GI issues to deal with, and the next step is to do a pH Probe. They tried to get this scheduled while we were still here, but were unable to make it happen. Therefore, we are going home, but scheduled to come back in Monday for the probe and stay overnight.

Thank you for all the well-wishes and prayers. I really think making the decision to come in right away helped us avoid a longer time to get better. And probably more lung damage as well.His blood tests showed he was a lot more dehydrated than he looked. Fluids and antibiotics did the trick for him to feel better, although it goes without saying that he is never completely better or cured. Going home now to see the rest of the family and enjoy a night together again.
