February 14, 2007 - All is well

Good Morning and HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY to all! Things are looking up for us in the Medlin household! Erik is recovering from his pneumonia and we believe we have his sodium imbalance stable. YEAH! We will continue to monitor this and hopefully, if all is well and remains stable, we can have the broviac removed soon. We are still working on a regular nursing schedule but have been really lucky to have great nurses with the new agency so far. Erik is also doing well with his therapy and seems to complain less and less. He also is progressively making better eye contact and is interested in keeping busy! He complains when he gets bored so he is keeping all of us on our toes! Erik has a follow-up MRI this Friday. We want to just look at everything with our new neurosurgeon to ensure all is stable since the infection was cleared. Pray for positive results! The rest of us are slowly recovering from the viruses, ear infections, etc. that have plagued us for the past month. We do hope you each have a great Valentine's Day! Love in Christ, Erik's Family
