About 2 wks ago I admitted Jeremiah. He had a bad infection of his liver which had caused him to have pus in his belly and in his lungs. It looked like he might not make it, he was that sick. But, praise God, now he is getting ready to go home and looks great. Steph took over for Susan on peds ward last week and came to ask me about him, she said I can't find anything in his liver. So I take a look and with ultrasound find a few areas of infection still, but nothing like when he was admitted. The fluid of his abdomen was no longer filled with pus, just fluid now, and the fluid in his lungs is all gone. His smile says it all.
