On the way in the ambulance he started vomiting severely. The driver put his foot down because they could tell things were looking worse. Broc was not awake for most of the time. He was extremely hard to arouse.
Once we arrived in the ER everyone was in high alert because of how he was 2 weeks ago with his extremely high fevers. He was moved to a room in front of the nurses station.
More labs and blood cultures were drawn and we started packing him with ice packs to keep his temp down which was very unsuccessful.
In the ER his vomiting and diarrhea continued. Once we got to the floor the decided to change his antibiotics due to the infections he had last time and due to the fact that he was already on antibiotics.
We continued to fight his fevers. Only if we packed him with ice packs did his fever stay below 103F. He started to become very scary at one point. We couldn't wake him up and his breathing was very laboured. His nurse decided to call a CART in him. CART is a specialized team that comes in to evaluate the child and see what else they can do to help or if he needs to be transferred to ICU. They decide to draw some extra labs for Broc and a fungal panel was drawn. The results from that said that 2 fungal were detected but they need to wait for the fungal cultures to come back. It is very possible that Broc has a fungal blood infection.
He stabilize and wake up some more once they started the anti fungal medicine. We are hoping for a much less calmer day today and more results.
Our Buddy is really sick so please continue to pray for him. We are not sure how long we will be here for. Thank you for those friends who have offered to help with Lil Mark. Please text Mark if you are available for next week. Hopefully by the end of the week we will have a better idea.
Thank you for all the love,prayers and support.
