Max is doing better this morning. He reached a high temperature of 103.8 last night. His nurse undressed him and packed him in cold wash rags to try and get it down. It slowly decreased as the night went on. She said that his body broke out in white and red blotches, but she thinks this was just a reaction to how high his temp was. So this morning when I called his nurse said that his temp was 97.7 and he seemed to be doing better. She thinks that he is achey because when she lifted his arm to get his temp he cried. Although he doesn't like to have his temp taken anyway, but he usually doesn't fuss when you lift his arms either. She did say that he was very fussing during his assessment, but he managed to give out a few smiles afterwards. He was awake when I talked to her and he was stable, so hopefully we are overcoming it!

The doctors have no idea what caused this fever. As of this morning all of the cultures hadn't grown anything and his blood counts were normal. He did have his immunizations on Monday night, but they are not convinced that is what it's from because of how high the fever was. They are also talking about a viral infection, but no one really knows. They will take a renal panel tomorrow morning to see if they want to give another dose of the antiobiotics. The meds that they gave him can work against the kidneys, so they have to make sure that everything is still looking okay before they would repeat anything.

Like I said yesterday, I am not going to post when he is coming home. I will post once he is here, in our living room, so that I don't jinx ourselves for the fifth time. I will keep everyone updated on his progress!
