Update~Day 15

Jethenro has been in the hospital for 15 days now.  He is on 4~5 antibiotics and still don't know what they are treating, as all the tests are coming back negative.
A Pulmonologist was consulted, and the tests this doc ordered have come back negative.  The Infectious Disease Physician ordered an echocardiogram to cover anything else they might have missed.  Everyone is a little baffled as  what has been causing Jethenro's spiking fevers. Last evening the fever went up to 100.8, but came down on it's own. All day today so far he has had a normal temperature.
The good news is that his defenses are going up! For the record~ His ANC =120, his WBC=.4

  1. Hurrah for a rising ANC!! I can't wait to read that J's ANC is above 500. Also glad to hear that his temps are going down on it's own. We're still praying. God is Faithful.
