October 27, 2008 - Day 6

Still at the hospital with no sight of going home. Fever is continuing to spike whenever tylenol wears off. I keep hoping antibiotics will kick in, but so far nothing! Maybe we got a false reading on the culture and this is ultimately a viral thing. They took a new culture last night, so we'll wait to see if it shows the same as fridays. Otherwise his ANC number is fantastic and other vitals are fine). It is maddening! I couldn't not imagine how long a recovery takes if your other numbers are low. We thought we'd be right out of here - or at least see some progress, but again, nothing.
