Quarantine Lifted

Yesterday was a LONG day! The doctors decided that Bobby should not ride in the wagon, even with a yellow gown, until the MRSA results came back. Have you ever tried keeping a 3 year old in 1 room for a whole day? I wouldn't recommend it! Bobby is also much more like himself, meaning that it was that much harder to keep him occupied. Around 7:30pm, we finally got the word that Bobby did not have MRSA and the quarantine was lifted. Even more exciting was that a little boy that we met on the floor who has been here for 10 months waiting for a heart, finally got another chance at life! He received his new heart last night. So wonderful! Once the ban was lifted, Bobby RAN around the 6th floor. He was so excited to be out of the room. Unfortunately, it was very hard for him to settle down so he didn't get much sleep. Hopefully the day will go by more quickly since we can be out and about. The chest x-ray this morning revealed that there is some more fluid, so we have to keep him moving and help him get rid of it. That is all we know for now! Specific prayers-that this fluid goes away and doesn't come back and that Kariem does well with his new heart.
