As most of you probably know, Cole was in the hospital for several days last week. He gave us quite a scare, but is home and doing much, much better. He had been battling a nasty case of C. Diff and despite all the antibiotics wasn't improving...then he spiked a high temp and that's when we got nervous (and so did his pediatrician). The GI Specialist decided that a colonscopy and upper endoscopy was the best route since his white count was high along with a few other tests. She told us that his entire colon was lined with large white lymph nodes (I don't think they are really lymph nodes but that is the analogy she gave). Anyway, the C. Diff is gone and now he is taking steroids, prevacid and a colitis medication. Hopefully he can get off the steroids in 2 more weeks, but the colitis medication continues for 6 months. He was a very sick little guy, but they are able to rebound quick at this age.
Thank you to everyone for all the prayers. And an even bigger thank you to my Mom and Dad...I am pretty sure that approximately 10 minutes after I called her and told her we were on the way to the hospital, they were in the car and headed down here. They stayed all week and took care of Tyler and helped us tremendously. I'm very thankful to have such a wonderful Mom as a role model.
Here are a couple of pictures we took in the hospital. These were all taken after he started feeling better.
