Fever's gone, but we are still inpatient

Sebastian had a low grade fever last night, but today was fever free. Still, he has to stay again tonight, and will probably get to come home tomorrow (Tuesday) if the fever stays away. His C-reactive protein (CRP) values are still high, so that shows his body is working off some infection somewhere. Therefore, he still got two doses of IV antibiotics today.

Sebastian is now chicken nugget free! He hasn't had them for two days straight! So the steroids are slowly getting out of his system. He is still pretty round, but it's going down too. The little hair that he grew back during the last phase is now falling out again. But it's not such a big shocker since there isn't much to lose.

Every Monday the Clown Doctors come and visit the patients, and today Sebastian got a yellow clown nose as a present. We all had to try the nose on, including Miss Ducky.

I bought a Bumbo chair for Stella (thanks for the tip Ashleigh), since she doesn't really like to lie down a lot anymore. She loves it!
