Todd got released from the hospital late this afternoon after undergoing a couple more tests which were - you guessed it - normal... We're not complaining at all - we are thankful for every test that came back normal. The thing they finally settled on today was something called Erythema Nodosum. They weren't able to identify a trigger for it, since none of the cultures or tests came back positive, but the symptoms do fit the description that we have read online. The treatment at this point is ibuprofen as needed, but if the symptoms worsen he can take a round of prednisone.
They don't expect this to be something that will re-occur, nor should it give him any long term problems. Since everything about this illness has been atypical, though, we will certainly keep a watch out for any re-occurring symptoms.
Thanks again, everyone, for your care for our family. It is hard to describe the strength it gave us to know others were thinking of and praying for us.
