July 15 cont….
Today ended up being another “We were supposed to….” kind of day. Another fever is keeping us here again. Today brought lots of discussion again with infectious disease. They have different teams within their department. Last nights ID team wanted to add an antibiotic, todays ID team stopped all antibiotics, ran a bunch of specific fungal and viral labs and decided to run the IVIG Tate was scheduled for Thursday and Friday of this week. The highlight today other than a visit from Tim, was Ruffles returned with all kinds of camp stories for Tate. Actually….she was exhausted and mostly just wanted to take a nap on Tate’s bed.
We still are hoping tomorrow is the day. The struggle is with a central line, a fever will bring us right back. The risk is always a blood infection that can move quickly and become life threatening. But the last place we want to land is back in the ER to start this process all over again.
