ezra’s health {day 3}

Thanks for all of your emails, notes, prayers and support. It’s been very encouraging to know so many of our friends and family have been keeping us in prayer.

After taking loads of Vitamin C and getting over 12 hours of rest last night, I (Tania) am back at the hospital with Ezra today. Overall, it was a better day than yesterday – Ezra’s fever continues to go up and down, but not as drastically as before; his appetite is coming back; and while it’s clear he really wants to go home (we all do), he doesn’t seem to be as scared of his nurses/doctor. Most of the day was spent sleeping, singing and watching Elmo.

Perhaps the most devastating part of the day was when one of his nurses came in to clean up and re-bandage his I.V. As she took off the bandages Ezra’s face totally lit up with excitement (do I get to go home?)… until he realized it was going right back on again. He just wept. Broke my heart.

I’m staying with Ezra in the hospital tonight so Genilson can get some rest at home. The doctor says we can probably go home in the morning as long as his fever doesn’t get out of control again, and we can commit to some bed rest once he gets home.
