Letting The Cultures Grow

After getting some IV antibiotics Logan is looking much better. His fever is still up and down but he doesn't seem as fatigued as yesterday. He had some blood in his urine and some bruising and petechiae (broken blood vessels in the skin) so he will be getting a platelet transfusion today. His right ear is red and inflamed so that may be the source of this infection but we'll be here at least through Wednesday to let the cultures grow out to check for other infection. His urine also had some early growth for the culture they did on that but it could just be a contaminant. We'll know more once they identify it.
