Ethan started feeling lethargic yesterday afternoon but didn't spring a true fever till the wee hours of the morning. He did, however, start vomiting quite a bit, and wasn't able to hold any tylenol down. Thus, here we are at the hospital again. They've started fluids, antibiotics, and I'm sure platelets and blood will be next. His temp has crept up to 102.
His eyes are really blood shot, but they get like that when his platelets are low. We will be here for 48 hours at least, to make sure no cultures grow back. He'll have to be fever free for a bit and his WBC should be at 500 or climbing as well. I don't believe it has to do with the peg tube this time, as it doesn't look the least bit irritated.
Hopefully, he'll be here just long enough to get some fluids and get those WBCs on the way back up. Will check back soon.
