Ha! Dr.s should learn to trust instincts!

Alright well J did not go to therapy on Tuesday or on Thursday. I did however take him to the Stem Cell clinic on Thursday to see the Dr. Nieto because a week later he was still having diarrhea and vomitting. Well we dropped off a "sample", Dr.Nieto said that this was still part of the stomach flu he contracted from Roo and myself. I was like really 7 days later, shouldnt he have fought this off by now or at least showed some sort of improvement? He said no, for J to drink, and eat as he could, Im like thats the problem he cant! Anyways they sent us home, and told us to bring up another "sample" on Friday. Well Friday comes along and I get a call from them that his other sample came back positive for C. Diff. Yes that is shortened for some complicated to pronounce thing that is basically an infection of his intestinal tract due to antibiotics. He did have this in the hospital and apparently if you have had it once your are prone to relapse. So they called him in another antibiotic(kind of funny) to get rid of it. Jason has started eating a little bit and drinking a lot better. SO there it was more than just the virus and even if it wasnt no one should go 7 days with eating next to nothing and drinking next to nothing. We go to physical therapy 3 days next week and then of course an appointment on a totally different day so we will be up there four days next week. Oh well. We were planning on going to Austin this weekend but that got pushed back because of J feeling poorly so we will try again for this coming weekend! Just a little update Prayers Welcomed, Kimmy
