Day 1-5 at Riley

On Monday Broc and I came down to Riley for a new central line. Everything went we!l and we were home Monday evening. He had a sore throat but we thought it was from the anesthesia. Tuesday we had routine labs done as we normally do. To our surprise his WBC was extremely high. I called his ped and he had us bring him to the ER. At the ER he had a fever. Blood cultures were drawn and a call was made to his team. We

Thank you to the friends that came to visit us in the ER. We waited for the ambulance. Broc was still pretty stable once we got here but the following day took a turn. He started spiking fevers and really not feeling well.

His team have been watching him closely here. He has developed lots of congestion and feels yucky overall. All his blood cultures are still negative but we have new ones growing since he spiked fevers after being here for 24hours.

The plan for now is to watch his counts. Too high and we know there's a problem. Too low and there's a problem. Broc has a very small window where his counts are good and won't effect him negatively. It has taken years to teach his team but they know the still now which helps immensely.

We had a visit from Quiggley yesterday. Broc loves the therapy dogs.
Thank you to everyone for all the prayers,love and support.

  1. Its a good thing they do routine blood work on Broc so you guys can catch things so quickly and get him in before things go downhill :) Hopefully he'll be on the mend quickly and back home
