High fever!!


Just when we got home from the clinic on Tuesday, his fever became higher. His temp now is 102+. I called the hem/onc fellow on call & was told that the antibiotics he received will cover him for 24 hours & that it won't necessarily remove the fever. Also, to give him tylenol, monitor his temp & call if it gets higher. At around midnight, his temp was around 103+. Another night without sleep.

I took him at urgent care at around noon on Wednesday 5-13-09. His temp that time is around 38.7 celcius. We were not seen by the doctor until 2 pm. Becasue of his persistent fever, he thinks that we should be admitted & consulted this with Chase's attendee. The blood & urine cultures from yesterday are still negative. They gave him more antibiotics & tylenol. Also, collected another blood for culture. Later we found out that he will be admitted & was waiting for a room in the hospital. Chase was calm. He was not crying. He just does not want to sit on the bed but preferred to sit on his stroller. As you can see on the picture.
