A little update. Still no blood results yet. Why do they take so long? Maybe I’m just impatient. He’s awake more and feeding really well. He has been moved to a children’s ward. I’m assuming this means he is out of danger? His temperature is still all over the place. He looks rather unimpresssd lol! I’ve never noticed his elf ears before! Ive
I was wondering what’s taking so long with cultures as well, but maybe they’re staining the cells.
What a cute kid. And he’s TOUGH — a fighter! So glad he’s doing better.
I don’t know anything about the tests but I wish they would just hurry up. The antibiotics he’s on treat Sepsis so he will be getting better if it’s that. They did say they would have to give him something different if it was Meningitis though.
Congrats on grand baby number two! If I remember correctly we both had number one 3 years ago. My number two is 3.5 months old. Yours is a sweet little guy who I will lift up in prayer for a speedy recovery and trip home soon! Nothing better than Grammie hugs!
Yes, That's great news!..Caleb still has a high temperature and his heart rate is too fast. He is managing to feed though which is very positive. The doctors are waiting for his blood cultures to come back to say for definite but they think it’s not meningitis. I am very grateful for all your kind thoughts and prayers. This is a frightening thing that’s happening. He’s so small and vulnerable.
Maisie,
My thoughts and prayers are with you. Caleb will be fine. He’s getting fluids and antibiotics, and all of his tests have come back negative. I know what it’s like to have sick children, there is nothing worse, but I know that he will be ok.
