July 23, 2008




Hello all! Camo is doing soo much better since he is back home. He is almost 100% back to being himself. He is loving his bath times, he is eating well and just completely content with sitting at home playing. We took him to the dr. on Tuesday (July 22) and the dr. said everything is looking good. We talked to him about how Camo was not taking his medicine too well, because he did not like the taste of it.. and it was alot to give to him. We mentioned that 30ml, 3x's a day was alot to try to make him take - since he hated the flavor of it. The dr. then looked at us with a deeply concerned face - and said, " you are giving him how much?!". We then told him, the discharge paper (that a nurse completed on our day of departure) wrote down " 30 ml , 3x's a day". We have a copy of this at home. The dr. then told us - Camo should only be given TWO ml's, 3x's a day ( a total of 6ml's daily - NOT 90 ml's daily). We panicked. This medicine is 'lasix' -which is for his blood pressure and to also help in assisting his kidneys to produce urine. The MAX. that Camo was given of this at the hospital - on his worse day - was 10 ml's per dosage. The dr. is going to follow up with the nurse that discharged this information incorrectly and also contact the pharmacy that filled the prescription. We are so thankful that at this time, there seems to be no long term effect from this "over dosage". We believe this is only because of the prayers that are still being said for our little man. Thankfully, it tasted bad - and he spit probably more of it out, than what he actually swallowed.
Other than that horrible discovery... all else is going well. Still trying to work on getting Camo on a regular routine (nap time from 12n-2p and bedtime around 8pm)...
Please continue to keep him in your prayers. Our goal is to have him back in school starting next week. He is already looking forward to this - he keeps talking about his teachers and 'best' friends :)
We are so thankful to have our angel home. Thank you again for all your loving prayers and thoughts.

We love you Cam!!! Trusting that the Lord has total control of this and no harm has been done because of others' incompetence. We know how much He loves you and will take care of you in every way!

I hadn't checked this blog since last week, so I'm really excited to get this update today! I'm so glad he's doing better, and I hope he's back in school this week. Let me know if you need any help with anything regarding the mistake made upon discharge...that is a big deal, and I want to make sure someone follows up with you guys if they haven't already. So happy for you Camo!!! We'll have to plan a playdate with Jordan sometime, now that you're getting back to your old self. Prayers for you and your family as you re-adjust to normal life! I miss seeing you guys at work every day, but at the same time, I'm so glad you're not here anymore! :)
