+Day 26 101 fever at midnight

By on

A fever is the last thing I wanted to hear about tonight! Especially after preparing to go home! Right now it's at 101.1 which is not good. Last time he was febrile, which was day 1 or 2, they took blood for a culture, which eventually came back with no growth. That process took several days and we were supposed to go home in twodays from today. I'm actually thankful this is happening here and when we aren't 45 minutes away. 

This is a late night half sleep post. I'll update when I know more or when the sun comes out.

Update. The fever may have put us back a few days to a week. He hasn't felt like eating so far today and his weight went down overnight. They will be restarting his feeding tube feeds tonight and they started him on IV antibiotics and are watching the culture for growth. No more going home on Tuesday. We are taking a few small steps backwards, but they are just precautionary. 

Side note: I discovered Hattie B's. By discover, I mean in the most Columbus way possible. The line to sit down and eat was literally wrapped around the building to where people were standing in the middle of the street, stricken with hunger like zombies. So then I was like. Oh yeah Hattie B's! So I went and picked up a to go order and the have banana pudding ( which he relentlessly begs for me to cook from scratch continuously) so I got him some to try and a plate of wings. He says, the banana pudding is the third best in the world (Nana's, mine and Hattie's) and I say the rest of the food is FIRE. Also, we tried Crumble cookies which he didn't care for but I thought was pretty good. Back to hospital food for now. 

 

Thanks everyone
