Hello again. Mark had a bit of a rough day. It started out pretty smooth. He got up and took the walk in the hall and got spiffed up. He started running temperatures again this afternoon. His temp spiked to 102.8 once more. They cultured him again. He is already on an antibiotic, so we're not sure where this fever keeps coming from. His physician couldn't decide whether or not to give Tylenol since he really hasn't been taking much by mouth except a little bit of water and his abdomen is pretty distended. They finally gave him some and his fever broke. He is resting better now. They came and did a Chest XRay and the nurse reported that it was normal, so it doesn't look like pneumonia or anything.
We are waiting on the second dose of antibiotic tonight and some culture results. I think they may decide to do a CT of his abdomen tomorrow when they round (just my own gut feeling). We will see.
We video conferenced with the kids tonight and talked with Mark's parents on the internet. It was great seeing and talking with the kids. They got to look at Mark, although he wasn't too talkative. Emily sang me songs and was joking with her Uncle Matt and Aunt Angie. Colton went to get Leppy the guinea pig to show me. They are so funny sometimes.
Continue to remember Mark in your prayers as always. God bless!!!!
