Eamon had a fever overnight and this afternoon. They repeated an x-ray, drew some blood, and took a urine sample. The Dr. said it is pneumonia, we will continue the same treatments, and wait (a common theme in my life) for Eamon to work "it" out of his lungs. So, we are not going home today.
Weekends are hard in the hospital. It gets so quiet and obvious that life is happening outside these walls. Weekends are for family and mine is all spread out - so disconcerting for this mama. David is still not feeling well, so he can't visit the baby. Myles had a party - how fun for him to be with all his boy buddies; Maeve had a lunch date with Aunt Colleen and Mr. Dane followed by a movie (Myles went along, too!). And I just wait, hopeful that the next 24 hours will be fever-free. Hopeful, that Eamon's lungs will be less "junkie" sounding. Hopeful, that this surgery will keep Eamon out of the hospital in the future. And hopeful, because those who wait will rise up with wings like eagles and SOAR!

Hey Tracy - You and Eamon hang in there... I know it's hard for you and Eamon to be there when your family's lives are happening elsewhere! Be patient - God is working on Eamon's lungs and you both will be home soon ! We love you all ! Hope David is feeling better also !
it was a treat for me to spend the day with maeve and myles, and to be able to visit with our boy tonight...i love you all
Hey Barclay5, we are sad to hear that the fever continues on, but yet we trust that God knows what he is doing.I truly believe that God is speaking to us all, I read the blog today and the last sentence that you had written about "those who wait will rise up with wings like eagles and soar" was the exact quote I had on my mind this morning to write to you; THAT I BELIEVE IS GOD! KISSES AND HUGS TO YOU ALL!
