Mixed news this morning...
The good: Brady's hemoglobin this morning is 9.0 (from 8.2 yesterday) -- that means for the very first time in his life B's hemoglobin went UP all on its own! Absolutely incredible and definitely a cause for hope.
The bad: After an extremely fussy night with barely any sleep, B woke up with a high fever of 103.4. His labs also came back with elevated white blood cells. Looks like he has some kind of infection going on. They took blood cultures from both his central lines. Surgery will be coming to look at his incision and make sure that isn't showing signs of infection. He may possibly need a spinal tap to check for meningitis. They're starting ceftriaxone now.
