Justin Blood Culture Update
Justin’s blood cultures came back negative as confirmed by his pediatrician and a St. Joseph’s representative, today. Whew!
However, Justin continues to vomit several times a day. I had him seen by his ped, today, and it seems he has a stomach flu. I will wait to see how he does over the weekend before freaking out more than I already am.
It’s sad. His eyes are not as bright as they usually are, and he constantly wants me right by his side. When he vomits, it goes up through his nose and he freaks out sucking some of the vomit back down through his throat. Hist vomiting is very concerning to me.
Nathan is at my parent’s house because I started to get overwhelmed. Justin was over-tired with red eyes, but refused to sleep because he wanted to keep up with Nathan who wanted nothing to do with his little brother because he doesn’t want his little brother to get him sick. Nathan almost poked a colored pencil in Justin’s eye while the two were fighting over it. The dishes and laundry are piling. I haven’t eaten. Blah.
Anyway, I will keep you all updated. Thank you for checking in. Also, prayers for Justin’s speedy recovery will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Awww.
Here’s hoping and praying he recovers quickly and completely. I can only imagine how overwhelming it must be in the meantime.

For sure, sending prayers for a speedy recovery your way. Poor little guy, it breaks my heart that he’s so sick. I will BELIEVE that he will get better quickly, and simply.
I wish I had the resources to be a traveling heart mama helper. Wouldn’t that be nice? Oh, Jennifer needs some help with cleaning and laundry, I’m headed to CA for a few days!
Sending tons of love and prayers in your direction. xo
