Roy and Christina came down to Philly last night and we figured we would be in the hospital all weekend. Christina and I stayed at the Ronald McDonald House and when we got to the hospital this morning to my surprise I was told that Jack was going home. Woo Hoo!!!!!
Turns out that the organism that was causing Jack's infection is sensitive to an oral antibiotic called Cipro and they figured why keep him on the IV anitibiotic if it will do exactly the same as the oral, so they let us go home.
So now we are home and trying to plan a little family gathering for Jack's birthday on Monday. He's already decided he want's to go out for dinner to Banzai, a Japanese Steak House that he likes so we have to find out a time that they are less crowded to be able to take him. We'll probably go for an early dinner and since it's Labor Day weekend, I'm sure they won't be so busy, but who knows, he may change his mind several times before monday,. He's very excited that we get to go to Shop Rite tomorrow to order his birthday cake and Roy and I still have to go shopping to buy him a birthday present.
Thank you all so much for your continued knocks, crosses and prayers. God Bless.
Home is a name, a word, it is a strong one; stronger than magician ever spoke, or spirit ever answered to, in the strongest conjuration.
