Still here.  Still no answers.  Still needing oxygen.  Still having high fevers.  Skyler's hematocrit was also low making him really tired and pale so they gave him a blood transfusion today.  He also cant leave his room because they have him on contact precautions where they have to gown up when they come in the room pending some tests.  It also looks like the site where they did the biopsy may be infected.  The surgeons will come look at him early in the morning.  If that is the case it will need to be drained.  Skyler has hit his breaking point and is just sick of everything.  He cries everyday almost all day that nobody loves him and that everyone just wants to hurt him.  This little boy has been through enough, why do more things keep piling up on his plate?  Why cant he have a normal care free life?  He is just a little innocent child, he deserves to be happy running around laughing with other kids.  If you cant tell Im at my breaking point.  I NEED my little boy to get better.  I cant even describe the pain I feel having to watch him day in and day out suffer and not be able to make it better.

Crystal, you and Skyler both deserve a break and I pray that you get one. I hope that you get answers on the tests quickly, Skyler's high fevers subside and that you're able to go home soon. Please know that there are so many that do love Skyler (even those of us that haven't met him) and that we're continually thinking of you both. Can Skyler receive care packages (if they are just dropped at the front desk)? I'd love to bring something by the hospital.

I'm so sorry you guys have to go through this. Please let Skyler know that he is one of my heroes and there are people around the world who love and pray for him. I am going to the temple tomorrow and I will put his and your names in. I hope you find answers very soon!

Crystal-
I am so, so sorry and I wish that I could take this all away. There are no words that would even do justice to how we are feeling for you. You constantly amaze me and I am honored to be your friend. I hope things turn a corner soon so that Skyler can start feeling better. We love you guys.

I admire the strength you both show throughout this entirely long trial (upon trial). You both are strong people and I couldn't help but follow along your blog. I'm so sorry you have to endure these pains; you are in my prayers!! And Happy Easter to you both!

Crystal and Skyler, there aren't words that I can type that will make you feel better. Just know that there are many people out there thinking of you constantly and saying so many prayers on your behalf. This little guys deserves a break and so do you. I hope and pray that you get that soon. I too would like to bring him a package to help boost his spirits. Please let me know if we can just drop that off, or how to get it to you.

Hang on. I'm sure that you are finding strength within yourself that you didn't even know that you had. You can do this.

You and Skyler are always in my thoughts and prayers. Others have posted about gifts for Skyler. If there is anything that would put a smile back on his face for even a moment, please let us know.

Skyler does love getting care packages, and he gets a big smile on his face everytime. They can be dropped off at the front desk and he will get them.
Thank you for all your love and prayers!

I love you and I love Skyler. I am so sorry for you both. His pictures break my heart. Please know I am thinking about you.
Millie was on the news tonight and they didn't show it, but all she talked about was how she loved HopeKids because she met Skyler and Cami there. She still hasn't met Skyler, but she feels like she knows him personally. She really loves him.
