Hello all-
Just a quick note to let you all know Brandon was admitted into the hospital last night. Yesterday started out as usual, but by mid-afternoon Brandon had a fever of 103.5 and was not acting like his normal self. We were instructed to bring him into the E.R.

Several blood tests and x-rays were done and Brandon was admitted. Not much has changed today, he still has a fever of 101.5 on tylenol. Brandon(mommy & daddy too)did not sleep much last night. He is in a shared room and of course they poke him ALL night long! Doctor’s are waiting on some culture’s to grow but are sure he has an infection. We can not seem to bring the fever down and this of course does not help with his mood! Brandon will spend the night again tonight and we will see how he is feeling tomorrow. Transplant patients are watched very close with any sign of infection. Brandon has also developed a rash. He is (for now) still drinking, but his fever is high enough that they are going to start him on some I.V. fluids tonight. We are back in the Transplant unit so we have some of the same nurses. While we would give anything not to have to spend another night in the hospital, Mike and I are so glad we are still in the area!!!!! The same Transplant team is seeing him in the hospital.

I will post another update tomorrow when some test results come back. JULIE
