Yesterday was an incredibly stressful day. I had not slept since 2am Tuesday morning as Broc started spiking really his fevers. His heart rate was crazy high too and quite frankly he was scaring us all.
The Drs were paged several times and in the end they stopped coming cause they didn't know what to do for the fevers. Tylenol was not bringing them down so tried Motrin and that was not working either so we had to bath him in cold clothes. He slept most of the night but we didn't. I literally stood at his bedside and started at him and the monitor the whole night. By the time his surgeon came by to see him later in the morning he was so ill. Dr Eliason was shocked at how sick Broc was. He immediately got to work ordering all kinds of tests and then him and I started troubleshooting to see what it could be.
He ordered all the basic tests as well as urine and blood cultures and a chest X-ray. Broc slept the rest of the day. He never even woke up when they checked his sugar or when I had visitors.
We waited all day and night for the results to come back. Last night all we had was chest x ray and urine culture. Both of those were negative. I then suggested that we check him for the flu or rsv. So they did a wide respiratory panel on him.
By the time I went to bed Broc was as comfortable as we could make him.
Thank you for all the prayers ,concerning messages and love and support that was shown. I know you are all as worried about Broc as we are.
