Isaac has been fever free for well over 24 hours now. Let me back up and tell a bit of this saga. Early last week, Isaac had been doing well on the IV antibiotics and things were looking good. The docs said that once Isaac's IV went bad, then he'd transition to oral antibiotics. I 'think' that happened on Tuesday night. It didn't take long, and then the fevers started to resurface, and began getting worse again.Come Thursday morning, we were met with a rather startling meeting with the docs that spoke of the possibility of the removal of Isaac's hardware (titanium rods in his back). Don't worry, we quickly landed on the fact that Isaac's only current symptom was the fevers and some complaining of his back hurting. The docs came around and agreed (and our main doc was out of town), to leaving things be, going back on IV meds and seeing where the fevers landed. We started the IV antibiotics around lunch on Thursday, and have been fever free for over 24 hours. Yay!
Tomorrow, we hope to meet with our two main doctors that are coordinating care for this current situation, to see how we will proceed to ensure Isaac has the best possible chance at success, so we can avoid any surgical intervention at this point.
We're very happy to have had a very boring couple of days here, because that just means that things are moving in the right direction!
We'll keep ya posted!
Love -
