10/7/04 "The Ball Is Rolling!"

It's in the works for Cass to come home by this weekend. Wouldn't that be great!! His room is all ready, the nurses are set, and the doctors are agreeing that he needs to be home, especially before the hospital gets filled with too many sick kids. Right now he is on isolation to prevent him from getting sick. There's a limited amount of staff who work with him and they all have to wear the gowns and masks before they enter his room. Hopefully we can keep him healthy so he can come home. He is still on a few meds which he'll probably still take when he is home. He had an EEG yesterday and the cardiologist was pleased with it. They took him off Lasics which protects his heart against infection; they really didn't want him to go home on it. Everything is starting to roll for him to be released. We are so excited, and I think it's really going to happen this time! We all got our flu shots to protect him and he'll start his RSV shots in two weeks or so. I pray that he will stay healthy so he doesn't have to go back to the hospital, but that's getting ahead of myself. Thank you all for your continued support and prayers. We will keep you posted.
