Well I hope since you know the source of the infection that means it can be treated and he will begin to improve. I hope you found that laptop for him too. It is VERY boring to lay around not feeling good.
Noah is in the thoughts of lots CPers at the UK-based Forum CPUK, where he is also an active member. I wouldn't normally post a link to CPUK, where I'm a moderator, on TF, but in this case, I will. The thread contains good wishes and hopes from his friends on the other side of the Pond and from further a field.
Vic, thank you very much. he just told me of the most generous gift you all had pooled together for him, and I was wondering how to get over there and express his gratitude.
Noah had begun difficulties with breathing and of course the continual sharp pain in his chest increased with breaths. He is waking up with the sheets saturated due to night sweats. he has a temp of 104. Apparently the infection has settled into his lungs. They have several bags of antibiotics hung now.
We really do appreciate all the kind words and thoughts. What a great bunch of people CP enthusiasts are! I had no idea. *sniffle*
The CP community is a VERY close one! We are all one...and for one another through good times and bad. Doesn't matter about gender, age, race, religion or location...we are all the same plant loving nuts.
Its a tight bond.
There are more good wishes and prayers going Noah's way than you can shake a stick at! He is in everyone's thoughts. We are all pulling for him...so how can he lose with hundreds of CPs buddies reaching out to him!
Thanks for the continued updates...we all look for this.

p.s. I recently had a temp of almost 104 so I know how bad that is. UGH. I really feel for him...
due to the infection of the pic line they had to remove it and now have no means of getting him nutrition (iv does not cut it) so they will do surgery early in the week to place a jejunal feeding tube into his small intestine.
My son had a gastric tube placed when he was a baby (similar to a jejunum tube) because of being born with a cleft palate & not being able to manage any kind of nipple (real or artificial). It went very well for him & we managed it for over a year until he was big enough to get the palate repaired. That was Jonathan, he is now 17 years old. It should go even better for Noah since he probably won't want to play with it...
