Back in the Hospital

Last night Remington decided he had been home long enough. He spiked a fever of 101.9, threw up and has been having stomach cramps. We made the trip back up to Primary Children's Hospital about 1:30 this morning. He is now back up on the 4th floor in room 4419. His ANC is 0 and his white blood cell count is 100. When they are this low, the hospital assumes the worst and gave him two different broad spectrum antibiotics as well as a liter of saline. Because his counts are so low, he will have no other reaction to infection other than fever. It is the only defense his body has right now. Remi is doing well this morning, his fever broke last night but he is still having the abdominal cramps. The blood cultures will take at least 24 hours to be completed, so Remi and I will be spending the night here at the hospital. Hopefully the tests will come back negative and he can come home sometime Monday. We will update when we know what is happening.
