44th Update

Not much news on Samuel. He is somewhat calmer than last night, although his fever is still up (102.7-103.0). Mom will be consulting with the Renal Doctor later this morning to early afternoon. Nothing much has changed since we left the hospital five months ago, he is still having the output and Edema issues. The major difference since our last hospital stay is that Samuel has gained fifteen pounds of fluid weight. Some of the test results show that Samuel’s white blood cell count is high. This could mean a possible infection or overexertion. Over exertion is possible since his heart rate and breathing has been elevated for the past 12 hours. However they are going to be running a culture on him and starting him on antibiotics as a precaution. He was admitted into a room late last night. If anyone would like to have the room number you can e-mail me and I will send it to you. I’ll keep everyone posted.
