Will had improved quite a bit and was released into a regular pediatric unit and taken off the morphine. He was more himself and able to move around better, so his siblings were able to visit with him for a few hours.
Today, however, I received word that he has taken another down turn. His white blood count is back up and his chest x-rays look as bad as they did five days ago. He will not be able to be released next week as they had hoped.
When it IS time to come home... Will can't be restrained for extended periods of time, so he can't return by car. He has a skin flap open from the tube they put in, so he can't fly. Cara will have to bring Will home by train (30 hour ride) to allow him to move around safely.
In the meantime, their Suburban broke down in Indiana. It must be repaired in order for Greg to be able to drive the other three kids home.
Also, Greg's dad is not expected to live (a matter of days). He's been bed ridden for 10 years and the family keeps getting called in to say goodbye.
I will keep everyone updated, and if you can help with gift cards, gas cards, donations, or well-wishes, please let me know. I will send off the first package tomorrow morning.
