A Chance to Reach Out

Deklyn, as always is doing great! He is such a trooper! A few days ago he was very unhappy, I had never seen him so up set and I could do absolutely nothing to settle him. He also had quite a high temperature. I asked the nurse if he could have an infection, she thought just because he normally is quite warm she wasn't sure but we sent away some test and it came back he had a respiratory infection. I wasn't happy to hear that, but glad we figured out why he was so upset and they seemed to think we caught it early which is always awesome! Since he started his antibiotic he has been doing so much better, and from more tests being sent away the infection seems to be getting better. 

Today, Deklyn became a tv star... haha! We did an interview for CTV news which was shown today, if you missed it, you can see it here. They didn't show a whole lot of what we had to say but they will be showing it again this weekend on the national news and I'm guessing they will show a little more of what we said. Deklyn did so well, he was actually quite fussy before the interview and as soon as the camera was in his face he was calm and happy just looking around! We are always shoving our cameras in his face so I guess he's used to it!

I didn't really want to do a interview for the news, simply for the fact that I didn't want to see myself on tv! But when we were asked to do it, I thought back to the time when I was 20 weeks pregnant and found out that my baby most likely had HPP, I googled HPP and found a little boy named Gideon (who is mentioned in the video) and saw an interview they had done, and also a video that they made. Just seeing that another family was going through something that I was about to go through and that he was alive and thriving! It gave me so much hope after being constantly told my baby was most likely going to die. If that interview we did would help just one person, like the interview with Gideons parents helped me, thats all that matters to me. 

Something to get excited about... tomorrow is Deklyns 2nd medical survey where they will do more full skeletal x-rays, blood work and stuff like that. I am mostly excited to see the x-rays and see how much better he is doing since the ones from on the 1st of February! They also would really like to get an IV on him, they tried earlier today and failed but they were possibly going to try tonight and tomorrow morning, just because they do need to get some blood for the tests they need to run and also when he has the IV in they can change his tube! Which would just be a huge relief for that to be over with! So if anyone wants to pray for them to get an IV in easily that would be great!
