It was a good night for Jason - no fever spikes and no need to raise his oxygen needs. Always glad to get those morning texts from Carolin so we can start our day with our hearts slightly more relaxed.
We did find out that the repeat blood test came back positive for bacteria again. For now all of the antibiotics he's on should take care of that and by tomorrow the culture should show what it is and if anything needs to be changed. Thank goodness Aaron asked the trauma doctor to get the ID doctor involved or Jason could have gotten much sicker before they discovered it!
He also had an EEG today which was clear and showed no sign of seizures. They did decide to keep him on the anti seizure medication for 6 weeks as a precaution.
As of this evening Carolin reports he is resting well with little to no fever and on room air only again. So whatever drugs he's on something is working well against that nasty bacteria.
We all are so thankful to God above for the amazing healing Jason has done in just two weeks. He's made it thru two life threatening events the first week to this already! He's been such a fighter it seems like not too far a leap to imagine him fighting this hard in rehab too. We should know in the next day exactly when he is going and can start up the next road.
