We’re home! Dr Murphy said that even though Tyson has been
weaned off the oxygen and the antibiotics are working well, he can still hear
that the pneumonia isn’t 100% gone. He said we could go home but we had to promise that Tyson will rest for the next two days and I
won’t let him run any marathons. He was sent home on oral antibiotics to
continue to treat the infection. We will also continue with his ventolin
and pulmicort, we will see his family doctor as soon as possible next week, and
then follow-up with another chest x-ray in the next month to make sure the
infection is completely gone. Because it was completely respiratory, we
won’t have to follow-up with cardiology at Sick Kids. *phew* I was
hoping we can make it that six months in between Sick Kids visits, as we’ve
never gone longer than 5 months between visits ever. We see cardiology
again at the end of May.

Although he is still quite tired, (and gruuuuuumpy!) Tyson is very glad to be home and so is the
whole family. We once again give praise and thanks to God who has allowed
Tyson to heal and come home. Thanks for all your prayers that Tyson would
be off oxygen overnight, they worked! We both had a pretty restless sleep
last night so we are really looking forward to our own beds again! I’ve
definitely seen enough of Headwaters Hospital for a while now.
Thanks to everyone who helped our family out in the way of
providing meals, bringing food to the hospital, spoiling Tyson with toys and
treats, taking care of Addisyn, and most of all for your prayers. Please
continue to pray for Tyson’s health in the month to come as he completely
recovers from the pneumonia.
Brian and Melissa
