Day 8 - Rough Start to the Day!

For it only being 11:00 AM, we've already had quite a long day. At 6:00 AM, the first team of doctors made their rounds.  They said that if Samuel continued to do well and got clearance from the other teams, that he would just need to stay on IV antibiotics for a few more days and then we could start making plans to travel home. As soon as they walked out the room, Samuel started throwing up. As you can imagine, this is the last thing his abdomen needs right now. They've given him IV meds for it, but he has continued to throw up all morning.   He is complaining that his chest hurts too. They just did an EKG on him. He has a high heart rate and is in a lot of pain.  His oxygen level is low. They just took a blood sample from a main artery.  They are about to do a CT scan of his chest. They suspect that he could have a blood clot in his chest. We are praying they can figure out what is going on soon so we can get him back on the road to recovery.
