Friday Morning Update

Things are not really heading in the right direction for Carson right now, but they could, of course, be worse.

He had a temp of 102 last night. That essentially bought us another day here. They drew blood cultures again, even though the 24 hour blood cultures have turned up negative. His cough persists, although the doctors don't hear anything to be concerned about in the lungs.

As an insurance policy to our remaining here, Carson's ANC went lower overnight- 192; and he spiked another fever of 101 about 10 AM.

Other than that, our evening and night were uneventful. We will wait on the 48 hour blood cultures to see what that result might be. Perhaps he has picked up a slower growing bacteria; we will see. Thanks for the prayers...please continue. We are already weary of hospital life.
