Still Here

Just wanted to send a quick update on what's been going on today. Leo still had his fever most of the day today and it spiked a couple times last night. He was holding steady at around 101 or so most of the morning. It seems to have subsided this afternoon, which is a good thing. One of his blood cultures came back positive, confirming that he did have an infection in his blood. They are speculating that the infection is related to his central line. So they have him on antibiotics now to control that infection. Additionally, his blood counts have dropped again. His WBC is at o.8 and his platelet and hemoglobin counts required that he get transfusions. So basically, if we can get the infection and fever under control and his blood counts start again on an upward pattern, they will release him. No projected timing on this, it just depends on how his body reacts to the medication.

If there are any further developments today, I will post again.
