This is our 4th day in the hospital. Finally, Chase has no fever for more than 12 hours now. The Hem/Onc & Infectious disease doctor is now leaning towards viral/bacterial infection rather than fungal infection to his lungs because he is getting better without fungal treatment. THANK YOU GOD!!
His fever was on & off for the past few days. His temp was not as high as Wednesday's. But, they were concerned because it was persistent. Also, his CT Scan result show some cloud in his lungs which alarmed the doctors. They sent tests to check for all possible viral infections too.
Since he is immunosuppressed, he can get fungal infection normal person can't get & it can be very, very dangerous. It can put him on ICU.
He is still getting various antibiotics thru IV day & night. The doctors still want to see him without fever for another 24-48 hours & that means we are not going home tomorrow. The doctors also stressed to us how important for him to take his Bactrim, Fluconazole to help prevent these infections and his Chemotherapy to prevent relapse because they know how Chase is on taking his meds.
