(Written by Lisa): Today has been an OK day. Jon's temp keeps going up and down, and each day he has a fever they have to draw cultures from his port and from his arm, which means he has to get stuck. The people who came today to draw from his arm were not the best, and they stuck him 6 times between the two of them - I thought Jon was going to pass out, but after resting a bit, he was OK. We finally told them to get someone else, and a while later a lady from the IV team came and stuck him once and got everything she needed! We were both thankful for that, and hopefully his temp will stay down, so they don't have to do it again. The docs have put him on a broad spectrum of antibiotics and antifugals as they want to kill anything that could possibly be causing his fever. Once all the tests and cultures come back they will know more...or maybe not. It's very possible this could be a little bug (which wouldn't show up in the tests and cultures) that will just run its course and be done - the docs think that is quite likely, but they still want to make sure they are not missing anything. Hopefully it will run its course quickly, so he can get out of here. Right now he is headed out for a CT scan to check for things they might be able to see. Again, we hope they find nothing.
If he's up for it, I'm hoping to bring the kids in tomorrow for a bit - we're doing an Easter Egg hunt in the morning, so I know they will want to tell Daddy all about it!
