2015 is continuing to not be a good year. I drove CP to the infectious doctor appointment today because he didn't feel up to driving since he barely slept (again) last night. I'm glad that I did because the doctor didn't have any answers and sent CP to the ER so that he could be admitted.
I called my boss to let him know that I was taking the rest of the day off and spent a few hours with CP while he got re-hydrated via an IV, received two different kinds of antibiotics in hopes that one of them gets rid of whatever he has, and waited for more blood and other tests to come back.
His liver and kidneys tests are a little off but his white blood cell count increased even more (it was just over 10,000 on Monday, today it was over 17,000- a healthy male is usually between 4,000 and 9,000). I feel safe with him in the hospital but they just checked his temperature and it was 103. Not good.
The doctor estimated that CP would be in the hospital 2-4 days while they ran tests and pumped him full of antibiotics. Unfortunately kids under 6 are not allowed in the hospital so poor CP will likely be there by himself a bunch because my parents are out of town and I will need to ask neighbors to watch Izzy for me to go see him.
Obviously we are hoping that these broader antibiotics kill whatever is going on in CP's body so that he can get better, come home and head back to work.....

Oh man, this is scary! I hope the antibiotics work and that they can figure out what the heck is going on! I'm so sorry you guys are dealing with this. Hugs, my friend!
I am so sorry you guys are going through this and don't have any answers yet. You're right though, he is in the best place. I hope there are some answers soon.
Oh this just blows. I hope they figure out what's going on soon. Stay strong.
I'm glad he's being taken care of, but it must be so frustrating to not know what's going on. Hope they figure it out soon.

Really hoping the antibiotics do the trick and that's he's feeling better and home soon. So scary!
So sorry to hear this news, and glad that he is in good hands. Hoping things look better soon.
Not having answers is the worst. Ugh. I'm sorry you are all going through this and he has to be on his own a lot. At least it will force him to rest and recover from this. I pray these meds work quickly.
