His temperature was 101.9, so we gave some Tylenol and since he looked ok and was alert (unlike other times) we drove him to Duke ourselves. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some inflammatory markers were elevated, but his viral panel was negative, chest x-ray looked good, and hepatology was happy with his liver numbers given that he\u2019s clearly sick. We were admitted Sunday morning to wait for blood culture results and to monitor for more fevers. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sunday night, Lincoln\u2019s temperature got to 101.6, so they re-cultured him and gave him some Tylenol. The Tylenol has been working in breaking his fevers and making him feel better, but we still don\u2019t know the cause for all this. Lincoln\u2019s liver ultrasound was not concerning to the team, but they ordered a CT to get a better look at his liver and also his chest. Since Lincoln had chest complications after transplant, they want to make sure no infection is brewing in there. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lincoln feels so much better this morning, but it\u2019s sad to hear we will be in the hospital on his birthday. It\u2019s been a tough time in the post-transplant period, but Lincoln is staying strong. In fact, today is Lincoln\u2019s 7m liver-versary! Please continue to pray for our almost 1yr old.  Maybe we can sneak out of the hospital tomorrow as a birthday gift \u263a\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforlincolnsjourney\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6358\/2025\/02\/IMG_6327-576x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-261\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforlincolnsjourney\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6358\/2025\/02\/IMG_6327-576x1024.jpeg 576w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforlincolnsjourney\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6358\/2025\/02\/IMG_6327-169x300.jpeg 169w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforlincolnsjourney\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6358\/2025\/02\/IMG_6327-768x1365.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforlincolnsjourney\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6358\/2025\/02\/IMG_6327-864x1536.jpeg 864w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforlincolnsjourney\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6358\/2025\/02\/IMG_6327-1152x2048.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforlincolnsjourney\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6358\/2025\/02\/IMG_6327-scaled.jpeg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, Lincoln\u2019s in the hospital again. 2\/9 at 4am, Lincoln started fussing and we noticed he was warm.
