Lil Mark came down with a virus late Tuesday evening. I took him to the ped on Wednesday. Thankfully the flu and strep test were negative. He was really not well so we kept Mark and Broc a part as much as we could. Lil Mark was quarantined in our room until his fever was gone. Unfortunately Broccoli woke up on Thursday morning with a fever. It was a little higher than what he is so we took him in for some lab work. His numbers showed that he was fighting something.
By late afternoon he was not well at all. I emailed his hematologist and he said that we could watch him closely. When his fever shot up to 102.6 I called his GI team at Riley and they said to bring him down. When Broc gets a fever of 101 we have to bring him to Riley to be evaluated and worked up for a possibke line infection.
Mikki and I packed our bags and food and headed down. Thankfully I had called ahead so they were expecting him. We were trriaged very quickly and more labs were drawn. They started with the small antibiotics and then got us upstairs as soon as they could.
Once we got to the room they started 2 big antibiotics. When you come into the hospital with a central line and a fever you stay on iv for 48hrs.
Brocs belly also shutdown once again so we quit all feeds for a day or two. Yesterday we did pedialite only. We just added formula to that. So once again we hope he will tolerate half and half.
Today he slept until noon so we were a little concerned but now he is up in the chair and feeling much better. He is still very congested and puffy looking. We know he is getting better cause he started singing this evening.
If everything goes well tonight we can leave tomorrow. We will be back in a week as Broc was scheduled to be here from Jan 4-7.
Thank you to everyone for all the support with Brocs fundraiser. Thank you too for all the love prayers and support.
