Trent is still running a fever that fluctuates between 99.4 and 102 degrees. He also has a rash on his chest - doctor says it is an allergic reaction. So I have given Trent some Benadryl and applied Calamine lotion to relieve his itching. I will be calling Nurse Kelly today to find out if I need to bring him in to U of C. His blood cultures came back negative for a bacterial infection, which is good. So this virus must run its course - at first I thought he had chicken pox, but the bumps on his chest have not spread. They are just in one area - by his portal. Trent is still eating (although like a bird) and still drinking. He has energy and is not lethargic, just alittle tired. Let’s hope this infection clears up soon!!! I will keep you updated…

Trent and I just returned home from U of C. Dr. Rubin believes he has a virus - but Trent was given an antibiotic by IV just in case (we do not want his port to get infected). I have been given the OK to give him Tylenol which has brought his fever down to 99.9. He is eating and drinking which is very good! We will be watching him over-night for any fever spikes, etc. Hopefully this will go away as quickly as it came on….Thank you for your prayers!!!
