**UPDATE**
Titus does not have a urinary tract infection - which is good. They did start the sleep study last night.
Titus has a good weekend, but after 10 days in the hospital, we don't have an end in sight. As one of the doctors stated on Friday, to look at him, you would wonder why he is there. But until they can determine what's causing the apnea episodes, they don't want to take the risk of sending him home. Several of the doctors have brought up a trach. Before we go down that path, we want to rule out a few other possibilities and talk with the cranio-facial surgeon. There are several other things they can do before we go to a trach.
Tonight, they are re-doing the 24-hour sleep test. It was done a few days ago, but for some reason, there are no results - so it's being repeated. During the test, we are not able to pick him up. They are also testing to see if him may have a urinary infection. One of the labs indicated there might be infection, so they are doing a culture again tonight to be sure before they start an antibiotic. They should know in the morning.
Becky did come home Friday night and today. It was good for her us to all be together, but we aren't complete as a family without Titus. Thank you for the prayers.
