Today was a better day. He hasn't had a fever since yesterday morning and he was very happy all day (except when a nurse came into the room). He is definitely feeling like himself. Pulmonology assessed Alexander and had lots of questions regarding the last 4 years of his life. She informed us that there are a lot of test that can be run, but the first test is a high resolution CT SCAN of his chest. He will need to be sedated for this scan and it will be happening tomorrow. He is scheduled for 2:30 tomorrow afternoon. Wes and I are hoping his scan gets moved to an earlier time as 2:30 is a long time to withhold food or liquids (no food after midnight tonight and no more fluids after 5 am tomorrow). Pulmonology believes the problem he is having could be something he was born with or developed when he was an infant, but only time will tell. She also mentioned there is a possibility that Alexander will probably have to go home with oxygen but only require it as needed. So we are hoping that the CT SCAN gives everyone some information on what the next step will be.
Thank you for all of your positive thoughts and prayers. Hopefully we will have some answers tomorrow! <3
