Today we went up to the hospital to visit Drake & his mom & dad. They had just had a meeting w/the dr and decided not to do the experimental treatment for cmv. There are so many side effects and no long term studies so after much prayer and lots of research Nate & Brook decided against it.
Drake is deaf in his right ear and this virus may or may not attack the other ear & possibly his eyes w/in the next 2 years but the treatment was not guaranteed to work either and the side effects just too severe.
So after scheduling lots of dr appts for testing and other things they are going to be allowed to take him home. His big sister Mae will be so excited...she's been waiting and waiting, and I'm sure Noah will be thrilled to have his parents back home.
We just will continue to pray for Drake, that the virus will not do anymore damage and that he can be a healthy active little boy like his big brother.
amen!!!!
