Fever still high.....

I just talked to Diane and she said that Cody's fever is still very high. They just gave him Tylenol and his temp is @ 103.7. He's had Morphine this morning also for his stomach pain. On a good note he has not had a BM since Sunday night. You may think that isn't good news but since he's been having diarrhea we are glad that has stopped. I think he is starting to turn the corner on this latest chemo treatment. Now we are hoping they get the right antibiotic soon. These high temps are not good.

I'll write more later...


Well it's 7pm here and things are starting to look a little better. "Knock on wood!" Cody's temp has been down since this afternoon. They started to give him "the big gun", Vancomycin. This the one that when it's given to him too quickly he's gets what is called "Red Man's Syndrome." They have started to administer it over a much longer time. They took him down for scans today because they started to worry that he may have blockage or swollen intestines. He continues to have abdominal pains and needs Morphine to help relieve the pain. His scans came back negative and the doctor is pleased with her exam of his tummy. His blood counts are very low so we will be here until his system recovers and he stays fever free.

Thanks for stopping by.....
