That means Wednesday at the earliest. They've stopped all antibiotics excet the "heavy-hitter" (as his doctor put it today), Vancomycin, and based on the kidney tests they ran yesterday have upped his IV fluids. They are hoping the "sensitivity testing" they begun will reveal an better antibiotic to use that wont be so harsh. Otherwise Josh is doing well. Keeping in good spirits. The doctors and especially the nurses are wonderful here! They go all out to make everyone feel at home. Today Jon was coming back from doing errands and got hit in the back by a plastic hockey puck 
One of the male nurses and his patient were in the hall playing Hockey. How funny is that?
Anyway, we miss home the most. But are thankful that the kids are in best hands. Just wish we werent so far apart and missing them all so much!
Day by day...

Hey Joshua! I read on another website that you have a polydactyl cat..I have one too. She has 22 toes and goes well with the background on your page. Her name is Snowflake. She likes to watch the snow fall. I hope you are out of "club med" soon!
