Thank you to all of our family and friends who have been praying for Liam. As some of you know, Liam was admitted to the hospital yesterday for meningitis. He will need 10-12 days of intense antibiotics. Tomorrow he will be transported from our hospital in Plano to Dallas to have a PICC line inserted for his extended antibiotic therapy. A PICC line is a catheter that is inserted through the arm and extends to above the heart so that the antibiotic can be released directly into the bloodstream. After the procedure we will be transported back. We are hopeful that there will be no long term effects of this condition.
Needless to say, we have our hands very full so I will post any updates I have on the blog. Thanks again to all our friends and family who have sent us food, taken in our dogs, and most importantly kept us in their prayers.
Liam sometimes likes to sleep with his feet in the air. One leg is wrapped with a diaper since his current IV is through a vein in his foot.
