Day 2 at Riley

Broc had a good night with stable fevers. They are still there but not spiking. I was able to rest as well too. We had the GI team and ID team this morning. With giving him zofran every 4 hours his vomiting and dry heaving have slowed down. He did test positive for c diff so treatment for that was started this afternoon. We are not able to give him his regular pain meds when his pain is extreme so we are doing hot packs to help ease his pain.

The ID came in and confirmed that he did test positive for 2 types of yeast. The cultures for that could take up to 2 weeks to come back. We are hoping that the treatment he is on for that will help. They will only make the decision to pull his line once the yeast cultures come back. We are still waiting to see if he is growing anything else besides the yeast.

He was sitting up in bed today and Child Life brought him a small Lego figure to build. He was wiped out after that and is back lying down watching a movie. His body is very sick and he is very pale.

His counts continue to drop too so both his teams are watching those too.
Thank you again for all the love and prayers
