Guest guest Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 Just wanted to let everyone know is back in the hospital. He started running a fever on Thursday, so they admitted him. So far, all his blood & stool cultures have come back negative. His white blood count, which would be high if he had an infection, is actually below normal range, along with his red count, hemoglobin, hematocrit and platelets. His CRP level (which indicates inflammation somewhere) was elevated (range 0-5 - he was 40). His liver numbers all look GREAT, so that's not the problem. No symptoms whatsoever other than the fever. They started him on antibiotics on Thursday, and are, I believe, going to keep him on them, as his temp is improving. So either it's a virus that's starting to run it's course and go away, or an infection that the antibiotics are helping but we can't find. However, he's feeling pretty good. So that's a plus. Hopefully he won't be in for very long. Love to everyone!
