Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! We are hoping that you all were able to get some good, quality time with those whom you love. That, and have a delicious meal! ;) Otto was so happy to be out of the hospital, with most of our Connecticut family. We all gathered at Grandads house and had a delightful dinner along with some amazing desserts! Our time together was lovely.
Today, we are switching gears. We are back at Yale and are all set in an inpatient room. We cannot get over all the love and support from our team of nurses and friends from a child Life who decorated his room. It is so special!
Right now, we have a few things going on. Two were expected - radiation and chemo. However, while checking in, we we’re explaining to the docs that Otto has had a nasty cough over the last few days. X rays confirmed they believe it’s bronchitis. Poor kiddo even started with a fever once we checked in. Blood cultures were drawn just to confirm that it’s not bacterial, but that’s routine. So now Otto will be dealing with some antibiotics on top of the radiation, chemo, antifungals and other daily meds.
Otto has been pretty tired the last few days. This is more so due to not being able to sleep well at night. His cough keeps him up on an hourly basis. Although this is the case, he still finds time to occasionally joke around, crack a smile, etc. He’s such a trooper!
We continue to say thank you for all the love and support you’ve given us. We feel the positive thoughts and prayers coming our way. And trust us, Otto and the girls do, too!
With so much gratitude and prayers for improvement,
Mark, Leigh, Otto, Tess and Lulu
