Laura has been in charge today. She updated me all morning that Matt's fever had continued to go up this morning and he was still having severe stomach cramping. It doubles him over in pain it hurts so much. I've come on back up to the hospital to be with him this afternoon while Jerry and crew finishes up the bathroom and bedroom re-do for Matt. I can't believe they have gotten almost everything done by lunch....it would have been a month long do-it-ourselves project had Terry and I attempted this.
So back to Matt. He now has and Infectious Disease doctor assigned to his case. They are concerned with the stomach cramping he has had the past three days so this new doctor is going to be doing a CAT scan this afternoon to see what is going on in the colon. Could be anything from a reaction the antibiotics to a bacteria that is multiplying in his colon. So hopefully this test will provide some answers. He has three yummy cups of barium to drink before 3:30. Thank goodness he is holding it all down, so far. I think they should come get him for the test around 4 p.m.
At this point, we are just praying for answers as to what is causing the pain so we can treat it and get rid of the fever.
Thanks for all your support in so many ways.
