Halleluyah i thought this day would never come. Conner has been fever free for 29 hours and his rash has gotten much better. So looks like either tomorrow or Thursday we are going home, YA NO MORE HOSPITAL! (well for awhile anyway!) And since the fever went away after they stopped the IV Zosyn, we are assuming that was the culprit. Doc says that can happen at anytime, even a drug you use frequently. I shouldn't say with any drug, with specific drugs, like zosyn it's in the pipercillin family which i guess is famous for these drug fevers. So no more zosyn or any of it's cousin meds either! ;)
We've got Conner's make a wish trip scheduled for Saturday thru thursday then daddy will have the rest of the weekend to be home with us, for some much needed family time!
I am well aware that Conner is not at 100% for this trip. We are taking along our FAA approved oxygen concentrater with lots of spare batteries fully charged, and if you've been following me a bit, or have known us awhile you'll know that we do realize that Conner may be readdmitted soon after his wish trip. It seems anymore he can't make it past 4 or 5 days w/o iv's before he gets another infection, which is so frustrating.
I've learned to respect CF greatly. I've also learned that having mrsa and pa is really not a good combination. it can make your body weak and with no reserves to battle lung infections because your body is constantly fighting anyway. But I also learned that i am hopeful. And hopefully optimistic. This time about a week ago, or maybe the week prior who knows anymore, I was feeling pretty beaten down and even "raised my white flag in defeat" but no more. I've learned that those feelings will come and go, you can't be 100% positive, 100% of the time. Just as long as you realize that you can't stay in that negative, frustrated space for too long! So game on CF, it's GO TIME! I had my moment of doubt, but no longer. Meet the new and improved Sarah, and get ready to be TAKEN DOWN! (oh and by the way, PA and your bff MRSA, you're up next!)

Did You Know....
There are over 100,000 people, the size of a small city, on the transplant list in the US.
There were less than 10,000 deceased organ donors in the US last year. (that's a ratio of 1 organ donor to every 10 transplant patients).
In the time it takes you to shower today, 1 new name is added to the US transplant waiting list.
From the time you woke up this morning to the time you wake up tomorrow morning, 18 people will die waiting for their transplant in the US.
