Influenza at the Brown's

Camden was admitted to EMMC Friday night with a horrible cough, hoarsenes, and fever. Saturday we learned his Influenza swab was positive. He came home today, but still has the cough. He has not had a fever since Friday night, thankfully. While we were in the hospital, his G/J tube started leaking (and pouring!) anything that he took by mouth. Our pediatrician talked to the docs in Boston and it was decided to pull that tube and put in a G tube. It can be doen without xray, unlike the G/J tube, and we weren't using the j part of it anyway. It seems to be working well. It will take the better part of this week for Camden to get back up to 100%. This may have been what Maddie had last week, and we have all been coughing this past week too. As far as the source... I may have brought it home to the house, or Maddie could have picked it up at daycare. Who know's??
Maddie spent the weekend with aunt Alice, and had a great time playing with them and cousin Michelle!

Hi Im glad Camden is doing better now. My son had cold and cough too for the past few day but thankfully no fever. It is getting better though the only concern we have right now is his weight. He hasn't gain weight much for the 3 weeks now. he's only gaining 1 ounces a week and we are starting to get worried about that. But all in all my son is doing great. He just started eating greenbeen and he likes.
here's my son website www.leonjordan.multiply.com.
Have a great weekend! God Bless you.
