Fever 101.8, doing tests...

Well today and yesterday Eric's energy has been pretty poor:( I feel bad because he tried so hard to feel better before the kids got here and he was doing good the 3 days prior but his fever just won't go away and they are trying to figure out why. Is it a new infection? Is it the pneumonia and fungus infection he had getting worse or what is it? They had the infectious disease doctors come in again and they sent him down for some additional tests on his lungs and pneumonia. They said they are trying to see if it has started to get worse from the other day. He has pretty much been sleeping the whole time the kids have been here ( I feel bad for the kids cause they wanted to be with him awake) I am just grateful they are here and they were able to see him and Eric could see them hopefully that will boost his spirits.

Today emotionally is a hard one for me, I am a little tired today ( not sure why?) I feel a little out of energy but I will try to change that.... I think this hospital room is getting a little old ya know? The kids said that their Dad seems so sad and weak, not like their Dad. That made me sad cause I know what they mean but I tried to explain to them Daddy is just tired and this fever and all his medicines make him really sleepy. He did get up a few times today and yesterday to walk with them but he was really tired and you can tell it took all his energy to do it. He really didn't want to but the doctors said they want him walking so we kind of just told him " Ok Dad we are going to go on a walk", he couldn't say no to the kids.

I knew this journey is a constant roller coaster, bad days then good followed by bad days... I keep thinking of all the times we would spend together as a family before the transplant! That is what helps me keep going...Eric is strong and he can get through this, we all can with the Lord's help.
