Back again...

We didn't even stay out for a week. Leo was released last Monday and was doing ok at home, but then on Wednesday night, he started to get sores on his tongue that his doctors said were a side effect of his medications. Then on Friday night, they started to become really painful and Leo wasn't able to eat. Food would make things worse. On Saturday, the pain become even worse and his tongue started to swell to the point where he couldn't talk anymore. Early Sunday morning, the pain became unbearable and the swelling so severe that it was obstructing his breathing, so we went to the ER around 4am. After several hours there, the swelling was still terrible and the strep test and CT scan were both negative. At that point, the doctors decided it would be in his best interest to be admitted at U of C. So we are here now and they are still trying to determine what's causing the swelling. I will be sure to update you with his status as it develops.

My deepest apologies to my family and friends that were supposed to come over to our house today for a bbq. It would have been a perfect day, except for these events. We will make it up to you!
