Son in Hospital

Many of you know my son Campbell...unexpectedly he went into the hospital on Saturday...he was disoriented, confused and in great discomfort. We are hopeful that he will get out on Wednesday (or so)...

He had been suffering from a severe sinus infection for the last two weeks which we thought had been brought under control with medication...we were wrong.

For those of you who know Cam, he is a very articulate 8 year old and able to express himself very well...on Saturday suddenly, he was unable to complete a sentence and began to empty his stomach contents (not pleasant)...it was very frightening for my wife and I. We took him to the hospital pretty quickly after that.

They ran all kinds of tests and he has been negative for the real nasty stuff...when we saw his CAT scan, it was obvious that his sinus cavities were full of infection...

After a few days of IV antibiotics and fluids he is improving but is still pretty "muddled"but can communicate again...he is not yet interested in reading which is a shocking thing as he loves to read...we are hopeful that in the next few days he will be back to his old self again...
