The urine culture came back that Logan has a urinary tract infection and they are attributing his fever to that. This is good news for us since the doctors keep him in the hospital longer if they can't find a reason for the fever (and he's not feeling any pain from that).
We still need to wait for all the other blood cultures to grow out to confirm that he doesn't have bacteria in his blood. His hemoglobin dropped to 6.7 so he will be getting a blood transfusion today. His white blood cells came up slightly from yesterday to .4 ( 5.0 to 15 is normal so he still has a long way to go before he can fight infection on his own).
Update on his fever... he just measured 100.7 which will probably set us back another 2 days being dismissed. Looks like we'll be at the hospital for Amanda's 4th birthday. We'll have to make it up to her after Logan is dismissed.

We just got back into town-sorry to see Logan's back in the hospital. At least there is a "reason" for his fever. Hopefully they can get that treated quickly and easily and you all can get back to "normal life". Send Amanda my birthday wishes, too!!
ReplyDeleteDo you think the hospital will spring for a birthday cake for Amanda?
