Max isn't going to be coming home tomorrow. He has been running some pretty high fevers since surgery and all of his cultures are coming back negative. He spiked a 104 fever this afternoon and they are still working on getting it down. He was shivering, his little lips, hands and feet were all blue. I felt awful for him. Then he started smiling and saying "dada." Why is it that my child smiles and talks when he has a 104 degree fever. I don't think that's normal! Anyway, they had cold rags on him along with a cooling blanket. Tim is with him tonight so I am not too sure what his temp is currently, but they had just given him more Tylenol which makes me think that it's still high. Some of the doctors are thinking that it's pneumonia, but others aren't convinced. I guess we just sit and wait to see if anything grows on the cultures. I will keep you posted on what the next steps are and if we figure out when he will be coming home, but they did say that it won't be this weekend.
They do have him on so pretty strong antibiotics to cover their basis. Something is obviously causing these fevers, so they are trying to attack it from all angles.
Please pray that Max's fevers go away, even if we don't figure out why he is getting them, pray that they go away.
Enjoy your weekend everyone!
