Liam was finally discharged today.

Everyone in the house is exhausted from the week behind us; we definitely we need a break from all this and the doctors agree… no one wants to see Liam back at MGH for a while.

Fine by us.

Between the flu and the pneumonia, we know his chest x-rays are hazy. An anesthesiologist wouldn't want to put Liam under for a CT, and the scan would be difficult to interpret anyway. So it’s being rescheduled, maybe in a month, maybe “end-of-month” I can’t remember, it’s all a blur. We’ll call the hemock clinic next week and check in….

I sat down at the computer tonight to try to catch up on the work I missed this week, over 250 new email to sort thru, and I’ve been trying for ½ hour now to clean out my mailbox so that I can respond to some… nice feature we have at work, if your mailbox is over the limit, you can receive email, but not respond… I gave up on it in favor of posting an update on Liam.

So we’re hoping no one else in the house gets the flu, although I’m inclined to say Bridgett had it 1^st about a week and a half ago. Owen & Jack spent some time out of school this week more to just take it easy, than any clear symptoms of the flu. Unfortunately I think Liam is going to have to stay in seclusion for at least another day or so… his favorite team will have to play Friday night without him. There was a nice article in the Brockton Enterprise about Liam, Bridgett and the team… thanks too to Caitlin and Colleen for driving the truck into Boston Wednesday night, Liam and I were able to make a quick escape today because of you.
