Well my son just called to tell me that it is for sure a staph infection and because it's still pretty red up towards his back he will be in there for at least 2-3 more days. It's not in his blood stream or bones, so that's good news. And we can go see him! My youngest son just went up there, he'll be happy to see his "gunkle" LOL(uncle)! I have to wait for papa to get home from and these other kids to leave then I get to go see him. My son said he's getting pretty antsy in the room he's in. It's hard to keep a toddler cooped up in a small room. Plus he still has the IV so he can't do a lot of moving around. This is not going to be a fun week for sure. :O(
Thank you for asking about him.....I can't wait to go see him! I'm going to get him some little cars and trains to play with while he's in there, I can't imagine what it's going to be like for him stuck in a tiny room for days! Granny to the rescue ...I hope!

They need to put him on a walking IV. It's much easier to take a stroll about and there is no way to expect a toddler to stay put when he's feeling better! LOL
Been there done that.
I hope the meds begin to heal him quickly!

I wish they could....my son just called and he said he still has a fever and is quite warm. I talked to him on the phone, he said he smiled a little, but said nothing. I feel so bad for him. Poor thing isn't feeling good again. That fever goes up and he feels terrible. I am so glad he's where he needs to be right now.

How did he get a staph infection? He, and your family, will get prayers sent. You're right, the little guy is where he can get what he needs.
Keep us posted please.

Poor little guy. Keeping Austin in my prayers. I hope he's back to his own little self soon.

Keeping Austin in my thoughts. I know how it is keeping a toddler still in a hospital room. DD was in hospital for 30 days when 18 months old. Told to keep her off her feet! Ha! its almost impossible to do. Try getting Austin some books that mom or Dad can read to him. That will help for a little while.
