Sick Boy
We discovered around 3:00 this afternoon (after Logan woke up from a nap) that we had a sick little boy on our hands. He was running a temperature of 102.7 and started vomiting as soon as we gave him Tylenol. We consulted his doctor and he recommend that we take Logan to the ER for a CBC and cultures. So that's where we've been for the last 5 hours. He's not neutropenic so he wasn't admitted. They took the traditional 3 blood cultures (one from each line and one from his arm) and a urine culture plus a throat culture. So far nothing has come back positive, but they'll let the cultures grow out for 48 hours and reevaluate. He was given iv antibiotics in the ER and we were sent home. He wasn't able to keep his dinner down, but he's not complaining of anything hurting... just a fever and fatigue. We'll follow up with his doctor tomorrow. Hopefully nothing new will come up tonight.

I am so sorry to hear that Logan is not feeling well. I hope he starts feeling better soon. Hugs from the Davis family.
