We received word this morning that the blood cultures from yesterday are positive for infection and we are awaiting word on the identification of what exactly is growing in his blood. Sam's fever still has not broken, which is unusual for him. He is in a pretty good mood this morning.
We were informed this morning that Sam will not be discharged until Tuesday or Wednesday at the earliest. We will need to wait for 2 cultures to come back negative after 48 hours and we all know that today's culture is still going to be positive as Sam's fever is still raging. Here's hoping that this fever breaks and the antibiotics start doing there thing so he can get out of the hospital on Tuesday.
Unfortunately we were scheduled to fly out of Boston on Monday. We will have to make some decisions tomorrow and determine exactly who will fly home when and try to work with the airline to get this worked out.

Guess where we are???
Well, I completely forgot to post when we were discharged from Milwaukee. Everything went well and we have a quiet few weeks at home.
This week was our clinic visit in Boston so the whole family packed up and flew out so we could spend some time as a family in Boston. Sam's clinic visit went well yesterday and everything looks good. Ryan is so excited to be staying in a Hotel and is even more excited at all of the plans that we have - (Well we HAD)รข€¦
Unfortunately, Sam had other plans on how we would be spending our free time. We are currently sitting in the ER in Children's Hospital Boston and will be admitted to the hospital for a minimum of 48 hours as Sam woke up with a 103.2 fever this morning. Looks like the culprit is either another site infection or a line infection, but we will know more once cultures are back.
