....................Last night again

Last night again, Zachary spiked a temp. This time he started out low grade around 7 so they gave him tylonal and he slept for 2 hours. They woke him up to give him is medicine at 10 and he was on fire again. This time 102.3. They called the on call dr and they sent us downstairs at 11pm to get a chest xray, then we came back had blood work done, and urine culture. Xray was negative, urine was negative, and the blood work was negative for the most part. His WBC's where a little elevated around 11 or 14 (I am so sleep deprived I don't remember what she told me at 3 am), and his Crit was 24 which is where it has been since surgery. Since he is just spiking at night they have decided to let us go home. Nothing really different they can do because it has been 3 nights in a row of testing and all negative. They are thinking maybe once he is home and in his own bed he might feel better. They are not changing any treatment options so really why stay they say? So we got him washed up, and ready to go home and just waiting for the d/c paperwork and perscription to get it filled. So on the road we shall be going in about 2 hours. YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
