Hi, my boy,<\/p>\n\n
Summary of the last few days.<\/p>\n\n
\n (when will there be a soap opera?)<\/em>\n <\/p>\n\n When it comes to eating, it\u2019s still a crusade. <\/p>\n\n Now it seems to work better with your mom. Your weight has been more or less the same since January 14.<\/p>\n\n My personal theory is that the problem may come from the fact that we can\u2019t give you a bottle because of your breathing issues, and because you don\u2019t know how to drink from a bottle. Respiratory-wise, this latest virus isn’t severe, but it leaves its mark. A sort of sore throat with a lot of mucus. We can hear it when you breathe. We can see it when you cough. Once again, you have a long list of medications, nebulizers, all the usual arsenal. This week, we also received the results of your immune workup.<\/p>\n\n The good news is that no allergies were detected\u2014no dust mites, no mold, and no animals. That will help us in our day-to-day life. <\/p>\n\n Your immune system is very active. It\u2019s not a collapsed system. It\u2019s not a disaster. It\u2019s a system that\u2019s fighting. Your body is working hard, especially the part linked to your lungs. <\/p>\n\n Overall, your antibodies are within the normal range, even if some are on the lower side. Nothing alarming. But nothing that allows us to let our guard down either. <\/p>\n\n You\u2019re not protected against hepatitis B yet, and you don\u2019t have immunity to rubella. These are things we\u2019ll go over with the doctors, calmly. <\/p>\n\n Since we\u2019ve been in this apartment, we regularly hear strange cracking noises. <\/p>\n\n We thought it was the fridge. <\/p>\n\n On Wednesday evening, a piece of tile in the room where you play on the floor popped up. Then the next day at 6 a.m., there was a kind of explosion. <\/p>\n\n You were eating with Tia Nil on the balcony, and I was in the office. When I got to the living room, the tile floor had burst upward. As we walked, the tiles were breaking under our feet. Personally, I had never seen that before. According to the administration, it’s a problem with poor quality sealant and poor quality tiles. Everyone knows about it, including the owner. This has already happened in many apartments in the building. But… it\u2019s impossible for us to do construction work with you here. We have to avoid any dust for your lungs. <\/p>\n\n We\u2019re stuck. We can\u2019t use the living room anymore. We\u2019re trying to find solutions, but we\u2019re clearly financially limited too. <\/p>\n\n And since problems never come alone, your oxygen concentrator broke down the same day. Perfect timing. Thankfully, the company that provides the equipment through the insurance was very efficient and replaced it. <\/p>\n\n At the same time, your uncle Rafael did an incredible job at the house 4 hours from here. He reduced the humidity and protected the wall of your bedroom that was exposed to the weather. A huge thank-you to him. He really came through. <\/p>\n\n So you might be thinking:<\/p>\n\n Because nothing is simple. We have to make sure everything is compatible with your health. <\/p>\n\n Every decision has a cost. Financial. Logistical. Medical. <\/p>\n\n We\u2019re facing a delicate situation. We weigh every risk. We take the advice of the professionals supporting us. We hope to settle on a solution by the end of the week. <\/p>\n\n The war continues…<\/p>\n\n But in this battle, you can be sure of one thing: we love you, my little potato.<\/p>\n\n Dad.<\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hi, my boy, Summary of the last few days.
