We have just returned from visiting with Landon and dropping off Roger and Ezekiel. Landon was sleeping soundly, after being up and alert all day. We just got there too late to be able to play with him.


This is what I can report tonight: Landon's bilirubin levels are down. We believe this is the result of them giving him a medicine called Actigall. Actigall is used to open up bile ducts and flush out his system, thus lowering his bilirubin levels. It seems to have worked. The problem is, it is only temporary and today was his last dose. We will be watching to see if the levels begin to rise again.
The plan is to get Landon home as soon as possible, maybe even tomorrow. We will know after the doctors make rounds, in the morning, if he is coming home or not. If he gets to come home we will be there as soon as we can to get some pictures. Kathy says she just wants to take a whole day and sit and rock him. I've got a feeling she will get her wish. Maybe many times over.
