Visiting hours update
Visiting hours are over and I have a bit more information to share.
I managed to speak with the pediatrician again this evening but he didn't have any big news for us. The blood tests didn't come back with much that was interesting. The on thing that he did say was that, "his inflammatory indicators are high, this could indicate an infection." One more small piece of the puzzle but still no answers. He has asked that we make an appointment with our dentist for tomorrow as the dentist may be able to see if there's some kind of tooth trauma that could be related (the hospital doesn't have the equipment or staff to do this themselves). I spoke with our dentist a little bit this evening but he wasn't sure that he could actually do anything (or see much) but he's certainly willing to take a look.
Antibiotics by IV started around 5pm and he received a dose of antihistamines shortly after. We're hoping that one of these will start to show some reduction in swelling and pain.
Aidan slept most of the evening (probably due to the medication) but woke up a couple times to greet visitors. A big thanks goes out to Doug and Linda who drove all the way in from Aldergrove to see him! Brett also came by (happy birthday!) as did Austin and Alma. Thanks to everyone who's called. Thanks to Brian and Elaine for taking Austin for the night and thanks to Alma for helping organize the kids' stuff as always!
