Setbacks

Well we've had a few setbacks in the last week.  This won't be long because I'm completely exhausted long story short Carsten decided to pull his tube out of his stomach last week so he had to go in for a procedure to put it back in which required anesthesia.  That went fine then later that night he developed a high fever around 2 and that's when everything went awry.  We're both sick now and his regular flu culture came back positive we're still waiting on his swine flu culture.We have been quarantined pretty much in our room, Carsten can't leave only me which I rarely do in fear of transmitting to someone else.  We won't be able to be off of isolation until he gets another culture that comes back positive which could take many more days.  We are tired, fussy, and discouraged to say the least.  His meals have actually been going pretty decent though and he's been taking all of his drinks.  They have to come up to our room to do everything.  Chad was here this weekend so I was able to go pass out at the McDonald house for literally about 14 hours.  I'm just back from the ER and we're both on Tamiflu finally so we'll see how we feel in the next day or so.  Please pray for our endurance, patience, and health.  We are very ready to be home now but also want to try and stick it out to see how far he goes.  Thank you for your prayers, going to pass out now.
