Hosptial

After a series of very unfortunate events, our sweet Isaac is in the hospital. He has a very rare infection called mastoiditis caused by complications of the ear infection and strep. We are especially grateful it was caught when it was. He was just a few hours away from possibly going septic or getting meningitis. This condition is extremely dangerous because the mastoid bone is next to the brain. His temperature continues to be high which is a constant concern. He is comfortable now and on continual IV therapy for the next day or two at least. He will have a CT Scan tomorrow morning to check the condition of the infection and a decision about immediate surgery will be made by Dr. Riddle (the ENT specialist) at that time. It may require that he have tubes and possible a bone scrape to get the infection out if he is not responding to the IV. We are eternally grateful to the intuitions we felt to get this looked at, the wonderful medical staff caring for him and all of our friends and family. We love all of you so very much and greatly appreciate your continual prayers and well wishes. We'll keep you posted on his progress.
