Quick update

Seth has now got his eyes opened and is feeling much better. His vision is still a bit blurry and he is still sensitive to light, but the pain has decreased immensely and he has no trouble keeping his eyes opened now. All things were going well yesterday (Tuesday) they decided to let Seth have a gate pass and we went over to the unit. We were there for a couple hours when Seth began to get a fever. So back to hospital we went and they instantly hooked him up to antibiotics. 1 hour later his temp had reached 39.9 he was crying his little heart out saying that he felt like he was burning. His pulse was racing at 192 and he had a funny rash on his hands and they were so so hot. They had accidentally given him an antibiotic that he has an allergic reaction to. It is an antibiotic that he must have but they just need to give it diluted and over a long period of time. Panadol, claratyne, cold packs and cool washcloths settled the temp and the reaction down to make him more comfortable. Throughout the night Seth's temp kept rising and falling and he had very low blood pressure. They ended up calling in the doctors who then called the intensive care unit to check him out just in case....????? They pushed through lots of fluids to make his pressure come up which worked. To make a long story short, we managed to get some sleep by around 5:30am. Today, Seth's temp continues to go up and down but Panadol is working its miracle and keeping all the bad things at bay. He has what they call a gram negative which is a bacteria that normally we all live with quite happily. However because Seth's immunity is non existent it has taken over and is causing the fever and all his symptoms. He will now be on a 7 day course of antibiotics which will continue after this time if his counts are still low. Thank you everyone for your comments of support. They are very comforting.
