Facts of the Matter

These are the facts:

-As of Tuesday, Cannon has had 5 ounces of formula by mouth
-Yesterday afternoon, Cannon was admitted to the hospital for dehydration and hypoclycemia
-Cannon has been running a fever since last night
-Cannon was put on an IV to hydrate him
-Cannon's blood and urine came back normal white blood count but abnormal sugar and electrolyte levels
-Last night Cannon had his first dose of copper injections
-At 2:00 am, Cannon's IV blew his vein and after multiple tries, nurses were unsuccessful to run a new line.
-This morning Cannon was given a NG feeding tube
-Cannon received his second dose of copper
-We have a 6:50 flight home that we are still hoping to make
-Doctors are reluctant to send us home until new blood and urine tests come back normal

We are hoping to make it home tonight, but also want to do what is best for Cannon. I'll keep you posted. As for now those are the facts- most of them.

You are in my prayers....I hope the copper starts to help and that you can get him eating. I think and about you and your family everyday.
