So this an article I found about necrotizing pneumonia. I was shown his CT scan today and it was not pretty. I still can’t believe how long it took them to diagnose him with this.

Superman update!
So, Superman is doing a little better. The good news is that his seizures are under control finally. They removed the continuous EEG yesterday. He had the continuous EEG on from October 31 to November 15. Now to recover from pneumonia. They put a chest tube in Tuesday night and it wasn’t draining much so last night they TPA in the chest to help break up the pocket of infection. I am hoping that does what it needs to do. If that didn’t work then the next step is surgery. My question still is why did it take 14 days to diagnose this pneumonia and no one can give a good enough answer why. Please continue to prayer and positive thoughts for my Superman Dylan! Thanks for the prayers and positive thoughts!💜
Update on Superman!!
So, we finally know what is wrong with Superman. He has pneumonia and they said it is really bad. Now get this he had an xray done every morning since November first and they are just now finding this out. The CT scan is how they found out it was pneumonia. He had a chest tube put in overnight to drain the infection. I’m glad to know he is not a mystery anymore. I’m, just wondering why it took so long to figure it out. No answer on that question though. He is doing a little better today. I hope he didn’t have this the first he was in here back in October because they never found a cause for temperatures then the just released him once the seizures were under control. Please continue to pray for my Superman. Thanks for all the prayers and positive thoughts!💜
💜Update on my Superman!💜
Sitting here at John Hopkins hoping for some answers today about what is going on with Superman. He has a CT scan today at 1 hopefully this will give us some answers instead of the doctors all telling me he is a mystery they are trying solve. He ran a temperature of 103.8 all night. He is getting weird rashes on his arms and legs. His belly has been descended for a couple days. His medications have been increased. They have helped the seizures. But with the fevers I’m, afraid they return with a bang. Please continue to pray for my Superman! I would like to thank everyone for the prayers and positive thoughts!
