His fever has gone back up to 40. When he gets to 40, he starts to vomit. So then he can't take another ibuprofen... you would think they ive it to him before it gets to 40 but they don't. They want to see how high the temp goes back up to... sigh.
They have taken another culture from his hickman catheter to see if that is the source. They said that usually if a fever lasts this long it's the hickman. They are waiting for the results from the culture they did in the falls to see if it came back positive or not. It takes about 48 hours to see the results.
They also sent away a culture from his little winky too..
So we'll have to keep waiting..

Waiting has to be the worst part...not knowing what's going on so you can treat it must be very frustrating and scary to say the least. And to repeat myself yet again, we're all thinking of you....really hoping for a quick recovery.
ReplyDeleteOhhh Sarah. I cant even imagine how hard the past few days have been for you. I am praying that they find the source of the infection VERY SOON and then start to treat it. Many prayers and hugs are being sent your way..
