Drew woke a lot brighter this morning and even managed a little bit of breakfast, but not the bacon. By mid morning he was positively pumping and after watching Prehistoric Park even did some school work. Dr Liz came around and said Drew's blood culture had 'grown' a Gram Negative Rods - in layman's terms that is an infection, which will require 7 - 10 days antibiotics, not negotiable or possibly 14 days - basically till its gone. Drew has taken that news OK so far. Sean came around this afternoon and they played a bit of music together and Captain Starlight got Drew's footy picks for J1 Ward. Drew's temperature spiked up again to 38 and then up to 39.7, he was shivering and so cold, but by 9.00pm it came back down and he was his lively self again - although lately there has been a lot of sad talk and thinking about the worst that can happen - if only there was a switch that you could flick to turn his mind off.

What a rough time Drew seems to be having. We are feeling so sad for him. I read your posts everyday and don't know where you get your strength from. I think you are absolutely amazing. Drew and the boys are so lucky to have a mum like you. Our prayers and thoughts are always with you guys and we hope Drew gets through all of this soon so he can get back to being just a 'normal 9 year old boy' as you so often point out. Thinking of you.
