...and then...

I woke early to get to the hospital to pick up Jethenro this morning. Nitha had spent the night with him. The medical team were encouraging him to eat some breakfast before walking him to the car.  I suggested checking his temperature since he mentioned feeling like he had a fever.  It was at 99.8 before we left the hospital. By the time he arrived home it was above 102.  A call to the clinic and a turn around landed Jethenro right back into the room where he received his transfusions.  By this time the temp registered 103+.
He is getting an i.v. antibiotic, and blood labs have been drawn to determine the source of infection. He didn't make it through this phase without an infection attack after all. His ANC (defenses) did go up a few notches with the transfusions he received.
....stay tuned....
