We got to Huntsman at 11:30. They ran some blood tests but then took us back to the Acute Care Clinic. Tony's been having some pain in his mouth along his gums on the right side. They were concerned about it since his white count is so low.
When we got back to the room, they redrew most of the labs that were taken at the hospital last night, just to make sure they have everything since the Tremonton hospital isn't in their system. They decided to do a CT scan of his face to see what is going on. They also gave him platelets, and then a few hours later decided he needed red blood cells as well, just to get us through the weekend until his Monday appointment. He hasn't had any more spikes in his fever today.
Now we are just waiting for his red blood cell infusion to finish so we can go home. It'll be another hour or so. The verdict on his mouth is that it's some kind of mild infection since the CT scan came back mostly clear so they're upping his antibiotic and giving him a specialized mouth wash to use for a week.
In other news, Jack woke up with some ear pain this morning, so my mom took him to instacare while we've been down at the hospital. After a 2 hour wait, they finally were able to see him and diagnose him with an ear infection. It then took another hour or so to hunt down the antibiotics for him since most the area pharmacies are out of it.
Just another normal day in the Roring household. 😉
I am surprised they didn't call Bear River and have that info sent over. But that's still good they redid it.
ReplyDeleteAnd we're having the same issue with the antibiotic situation. It's actually kind of scary given the situation.
