We hardly slept last night...woke every hr. to take Mr. T's temperature.
Last night his temperature continued to increase. It was 39.2 & they treated that with Tylenol.
This morning Mr. T was 38.6 & again he received Tylenol.
Today his WBC (white blood cells) is 0.2 again. Once he gets to 0.5 we can go to a step-down room where the rules aren't as strict. We are looking forward to moving out of our cell.
Mr. T is on new antibiotics because of his spiking a fever.
He now gets...ciproflaxacin...vancomycin again & meropenum. The anti-fungal he is getting is called caspofungin & his c-diff is Metronidazole.
He now gets 300 cc of Gabapentin for his nerve pain...and I think this is helping as he is not asking for hydromorphone as much.
Even though he sleeps a lot...I can see he is feeling much better...he is not waking evey hour in need of medication.
