For those keeping up with Lucas's little life....here is the latest from his mom....
january 12, 2009
For those of you who know Lukie's reputation know it was too good to be true he has been home for so long. Seventeen days to be exact, one of the record long times. Well last night Luke was fussy and couldn't sleep. He finally settled down at 2:00, which is totally not like him. This morning he felt warm so I took his temperature which was 102.3, and I could feel his heart pounding. So I called his doc and they had me bring him in asap. We were admitted to Utah Valley an did blood work. His white blood cell count was very high which means infection. We will have to wait at least a day to get results on the blood cultures. If his line is bad he will have a broviac placed which is more surgery. This will have to be done at Primary Children's. Each central line is so vital to him. There is only a few places you can place a central line so they will do everything they can to keep his PICC line.
Lukie will be 8 months old tomorrow. He weighs 10 lbs 6 oz and 23 1/2 inches. He is such a sweet heart and gets so scared to be in the hospital. He loves being home with his family. Please remember him in your prayers. Thank
