Theo update

Not a good day today. Theo had more bleeding last night and today. They changed most of his meds back to IV so his stomach doesn't have to do any work, including drinking. He is allowed to drink water to take pills, but that's all. Because the two continuous drips for his stomach can't run trough a line with anything else, and becuase they have added more IV meds, and because he keeps having to get more blood, they had to put an IV I his arm to get everything into him on time. Because he's on so many steroids, they had to try 5 times and call in a nurse from another floor to help to get the IV in. Because one of the new continuous meds drastically reduces the body's insulin production, they are checking his blood sugar every 6 hours and have to give him an insulin shot if they are over 200. So Theo feels like because we brought him here to make him better, everything else is going wrong. I can't blame him. Please keep praying for comfort and healing in his body and in his mind and spirit as well.pray for Emi, Brady and I as well. We really had no idea what we were going to have to go through when this all started, and its hard to continuously have something else to deal with every day.

Love you all...
