A Crazy Morning

Ok things are calming down now. We had a bit of an emergency this morning. Donavynn was really dehydrated so they needed to act fast because he was heading into shock. But the doctors proved to be as great as we always thought they were and they got him back to where he needs to be. His ANC has gone down a little. It is around 3000 today and his hemoglobin dropped to 8.6 so they are giving him blood which will also help with the dehydration. They are also going to do an abdominal x-ray to make sure they aren't missing anything. His diarrhea slowed down last night. Only 4 times through the night and only over the course of an hour and 10 minutes. We are waiting on his current labs that they ordered Stat during the crisis. They have him on oxygen, and finally his capillary refill and color are coming back. He looks much better. They added 2 new antibiotics to make sure he is covered because the C-diff can actually lead to a blood infection if the intestines start to bleed. So they are giving him Gentamycin and Vancomycin now in addition to the Flagyl and Cephepime. So through the night he had 2 fevers, 4 hours apart. And then he had another one this morning, 7 hours after the last one. So hopefully they will spread out more and more and become non existant. As far as going home, that is pretty up in the air right now. We can't go until he is fever free anyway, and right now I don't mind being here because he is just not feeling well at all. I also don't know if they are going to D/C the Erwinia yet, my guess would be they will but I'll know more when the doctors round. That is all for now. I'll post again when I have the results from the x-ray and CBC.
