My Dear Andrew

This kid is going to send me to my grave early. Wednesday morning we took him in to have an MRI. They had to put him under and he did surprisingly well. While he was still out they decided to take out his staples. They got a surgeon to do it because the staples were in, in a kinda funky way. And as she was pulling them out he woke up. He was only slightly grumpy and was fine as soon as I was holding him. He came home and was lethargic the rest of the day. And then yesterday he woke up with a fever, pink eye and a cough. And since we couldn't get an appt, we headed off to the er yet again. While there waiting we got a call from the Dr. saying that the results were in and the MRI was normal but they took a chest x-ray and they were concerned that he had pneumonia. Good thing we were already in the er. We saw a Dr. who listened to his chest and pronounced him clear. Now we are home and his nose is running like crazy, he's got a fever again and his cough is getting worse. This poor boy cannot catch a break! And lastly here is a better look at the gash without the staples. It looks so much better now!
