The nurse finally took the "swab" of Alex's throat at 10:00pm last night. We had to wake him up, and then two nurses and I had to hold him down while he cried and struggled. The nurse was able to finally get the "swab" down his throat, and then he just cried and cried. Then, the nurse gave me Tylenol again for the fever, and he even struggled to take that. Thankfully, he fell back asleep pretty quickly.
The fever is back at 101.7 this morning. The nurse just left with more blood cultures. His doctor thinks it is likely a one-two punch - a virus pushed his counts down to zero, and then the "good" bacteria in his body is probably starting to run amok. So, I sit here waiting to see if his body was able to produce any white blood cells, so he can start to fight this off...
