Rocky road

On Friday, Vlad's temperature spiked around 7 p.m. to over 101. He slept most of the day and ate almost nothing. When he was awake, he was nauseated. He also was congested and his oxygen levels were low (89), which is weird for him. The nurses grew pretty concerned around 9 p.m. and called the on-call doctor who ordered some blood tests, X-rays and such. He also got oxygen about 9 p.m. They didn't think it was anything major. His lungs appeared to be clear. But they couldn't put their finger on what was going on, so they jumped on it.

This morning his congestion is gone. He slept pretty well. He took pain meds (for the line) and sleeping meds last night, so no problems there. His fever was about 99 at 8 a.m. And he's not hungry. (Better than nauseous?). They're hesitant to give him Tylenol because of his nausea and because it tends to mask symptoms. He is getting nausea medication also.

Anyway, I'm headed over within the hour.
