We have been fever free all day! knock on wood,, knock on wood!
They now don't think it's a fungal infection.. but they have asked for additional tests on the original culture they sent away that confirmed the Strep. So for now they have him on many antibiotic's to make sure he's being covered, then they will take him off one by one until he's a-febrile..
He had a great day...mind you he had a platelet transfusion, which he gets Benedryl for now so he slept for hours!
All the white blood cells he is making are being used for his infection.. so he is still at 0.
He ate very well today.. his appetite is coming back slowly.
His spirits are not so great.. I think he's at his threshold now for tolerating all this crap. Poor little guy. However he's very excited about Christmas.
I bought a little money tree yesterday and a couple strings of lights and decorated the little tree and strung the lights around the room. He was quite pleased when he woke up. The today he made 2 Christmas balls for the tree.. I'll post a pic when I can.
Thank you all for your positive support and energy. I could not go through this without all of you.

ReplyDelete*knocking on wood over here!
ReplyDeleteThis is great news...he's been through so much, you must be so proud of the little fighter!
Here's to a smooth ride into the holidays!
I would be shocked if he wasnt at his threshold. If it was me I think I would be fed up a long time ago. He is one strong little boy and has only a little more to go before he will be done with this.
ReplyDeleteI am glad that the holidays are cheering him up. You are an amazing mother and all that you are doing for Lyric is just awesome. I hope that you know that..
I hope the fever stays away and he keeps getting better.
