Tuesday Evening, 11/6/07

Nathan had another reaction to something last night. They think it's some sort of preservative in the vitamins, but there's not sure. I spent the day at the hospital today to check in on him and to speak with his doctors. He had a very good day, but it looks like he's not coming home for quite some time.

They're going to move him back to the ICU for a day to start some desensitization training (sounds like something George Bush authorized in private). The allergists think they can build up his immunity to the allergens in the vitamins. With his surgery coming up in two weeks, and these repeated allergic reactions, they simply don't feel comfortable sending him home. Adding it up, that means another two weeks waiting for surgery and another (minimum of) two weeks for post-operation recovery. This means that Nathan will be home at the earliest after four months of hospital stay.

That's all I have to say for now.
