Well. Joshuah is still in the hospital trying to get over this nasty RSV virus. Overall he is doing pretty well but he is having a hard time keeping his oxygen level up. He does good while he is awake, goes up and down but then when he falls asleep it drops and doesn't come back up. :( He still has a yucky cough, which will last a long while. He hasn't been eating as well...of course. So I've been giving him some pedialyte so he doesn't get dehydrated. The doctor said today that he will probably release Joshuah tomorrow if he doesn't seem to be having any difficulties breathing. He sad that we could watch the monitor for days and nothing change. As of now he hasn't had any "difficulties" since we've been here, with the exception of being congested and coughing up a lot of mucous... The doctor said that Joshuah's ears look a little pink and so he started him on a antibiotic. Plus his lungs are still crackly so the abx will help if it starts to turn into pneumonia. Crazy I tell ya! But he has been VERY smiley today. :)

To make a long story short OHSU did a scan of the lump that Josh noticed on the top of his head a couple months ago that has just been getting bigger. The test showed that the tumor has gone through the bone and is eating the brain tissue. That is all the info we have a this time. We don't know if that tumor has just grown or if it's spread and there are more in the brain or what. Josh also had a MRI done here in Medford last week and it showed that the tumor in his pelvic area (not sure if this is a new one or the same one) is putting pressure on the neck of the femur and if he puts too much weight on that area then there is a high risk of fracture. SO until Josh's doctor here talks with Dr. Ching his doctor up in Portland he isn't to put ANY weight on his hip. He has an appt in Portland next Tuesday to meet with the oncologist and I think the surgeon. We'll see what happens.
