Update

The doctor just came in and said that they are going to give another dose of antibiotics, and also hook him up to an IV for hydration. Alex has only been awake for about 2 hours this whole day. He is sleeping, and shivering under two blankets in a room where the thermostat reads 76 degrees.

The doctors want to see a marked improvement in his fever before they will send him home. The suspicion now is that this fever is a side effect of the Cyterabine - what they call the Cyterabine Syndrome - fever, aches, diarrhea - a lot like the flu.

Right now, Alex is getting hooked up to the IV and just received a dose of Tylenol to combat the fever recorded at 104.0 a few minutes ago.

The goal is to send us home tonight. For right now, my sweet boy is sleeping, and fighting off this blasted fever. I think I will modify our bedtime chant: Go away fever, Go away!
