U of C Day 14 - Fever and Cough

I'm heading home tonight so I want to make sure I post an update before I leave. Leo's been really sick all day. He's had a cough the past three days and it was getting more and more productive in the last 2 days. He's also had severe nausea the past few days that's been best controlled by drugs that basically knock him out for a couple hours. So it's been really tough for him. Just in the last hour, Leo's picked up a fever and they're a little worried. If it is an infection of sorts, they have to figure out what it is as soon as possible. So they just did a bunch of cultures and will be getting him a chest x-ray to see what is happening. So for now, he's just got meds to bring his fever down, suppress the cough and clear his nasal congestion. Hopefully this will be the worst of his condition, but we will just have to wait and see.

I will be sure to post as we hear more on his condition. Have a good evening.
