The Latest 12:00 p.m.

So, we went to see Isaac's pediatrician this morning. Dr. Riddle was in surgery and I knew if we talked to him he would just want to admit him. So, we felt good about seeing Dr. Cornish and getting another opinion. I consider Dr. Cornish a friend and he has been attentive to Isaac for 6 years now. We are going to give things one more day and see if his temperature won't go away. He is having trouble keeping anything down, including his medicines. After doing a complete history and work up this morning, Dr. Cornish seems to think it is very clear that Isaac suffers from some sort of Immune Deficiency (SCARY), thus the continual fight of infections. Once we get him over the pneumonia and healthy again, he'll have to undergo further testing to find out exactly what that means. Another thing that is making this so hard is we are fairly certain he has had cephlosprins so much (penicillin based drugs), that they no longer effect his body. In addition, the next best antibiotic to give him called Eurthromycin he is allergic to. Please continue to keep him in your prayers.
