Max is sick :(

Here we are again in the hospital. It's been a while since our last overnight stay at the hospital so I'm out of practice, cranky and exhausted. Max hasn't really been having a great time either. So here's what happened. On Saturday Max spent the day vomiting and not eating or drinking much of anything. He threw up 3 times and was pretty weak, but playing all day. Then he had some Pedialyte through the night and looked like he was getting better Sunday morning except that his temp went up to 37.5C. And then came a little bit of diarrhea and then Max's temp went up to 38.6 and after a conversation with the Cincy doctor on call, off to the emergency room we went. Why did we go to the ER for something that looks like a stomach virus? Because Max has a port and with a port, there is always the threat of an infection. When there is a fever, there may be bacteria floating around in Max's blood causing trouble. So here we are. We're still waiting for the blood cultures to come back but so far nothing has grown, thank G-d. Anyways, Max's fevers and diarrhea are continuing as would be expected with a virus, but just in case, Max is on an antibiotic. I'm really hoping that tomorrow evening we can go home with clear cultures and they won't make us stay any longer. Please G-d let Max's engraftment go up so that he makes enough enzyme that he doesn't need ERT and we can get rid of this stupid port!!! P.S. Please let that engraftment go up without the need for another transplant...:(
