UTI and C Diff

The past few weeks seem to have literally vanished. Week by week just passed by and I can barely make heads or tales of any of it at this point. I do want to give everyone a summary of the highlights that I do feel are worth going into detail about. July was spent searching for some way to get us home with the assistance of some sort of nursing program. Lex was technically discharged healthwise but they were not comfortable at the time releasing him without assisted care for us at home. With every weekly update the case worker kept coming to us with no progress (not her fault) and with disappointing news. After making a trip home (which we were told was crucial in furthering this progression) deemed itself to be completely unnecessary, it was discovered that it was pointless for us to be even attempting to figure out what Lex could receive until August 1st, for reasons that are still mind-boggling to me and would take a painfully long time for me to explain. So, at this point we are still waiting to see what will come of that. In the meantime, Lex was 'readmitted' due to a number of reasons:
1) His urine output suddenly became extremely high, causing his input to actually be negative. He was losing weight pretty steadily (though he wasn't gaining to begin with, but was at least holding onto what he had) so the Renal Team started to follow him. They couldn't find any issues with his kidneys specifically but will continue to keep an eye on that. We did find out that he was pretty sufficiently dehydrated because of how much he was urinating. So, he was put on IV fluids for a couple of days to help with that. His electrolytes were also off at this point.
2) I had noticed blood in his stool one night, which was shrugged off by the nurse, so I made sure to let the doctor know myself. After a couple of more occurrences like this one they tested him for Clostridium Difficile which came back positive. He was then put on IV antibiotics for that.
3) His urine culture also began to show infection so he was put on another antibiotic for a urinary tract infection.
In addition to all of these things his seizures have been worse over the past week. For a couple of weeks he only needed Ativan once a week, but this past one he ended up needing it four times. The days that he didn't need it were still not all clear. His seizures were just spread far enough apart that he didn't require Ativan (which is a HUGE blessing!)
Okay, so let's get to some positive things that have happened aka
Five Reasons to Praise. Actually I've just decided to change the name.
Five Reasons to Praise Jesus!
1.) The trileptal ween seems to still be going well, so we are continuing that. Despite the increase in seizures we don't believe the trileptal to be related and we're giving the infections the credit for that uprise. Please pray that this is the case and that when the infections are cleared that he will go back to his "baseline" (if you can even call it that)
2.) We are still in our same room and haven't had to move to intensive care for over a month!!We are SO THANKFUL for this!
3.) We do have something that helps his seizures when they're out of control-Ativan!
4.) He has some fantastic nurses ;)
5.) We have the most amazing and supportive people praying for us and encouraging us constantly. There have been so many times when a kind comment that I read on Lex's prayer page lifts my spirits up a lot. It means so much.
