Carter Update :(

Recap: Carter came back to the hospital due to a bad cough, and they were going to do bloodwork to see if it's just a cold or virus or infection.

Update:
The tests of different viruses they tested came up negative so they think it's just viral. He has not had a fever or any other signs of infection. So he just has a bad cough/cold
We were supposed to go home today...but now something serious has come up.
Everyday they check his soft spot (it can indicate a number of different things, if it's sunken in too much, dehydration, raised too much, fluid)
Well his is a huge lump.
He has too much fluid around the brain. Which can mean a number of things; but not good things. (ei-brain tumor, more leukemia cells, etc) so they have done annultrasoud and took spine/brain fluid samples. We are waiting for the results. They will most likely have to put a shunt into his head to drain.

Never fails... Once things are going good/great/or ok, more bad news pops up.
