Update after Rounds

So 5 docs came in for rounds...here's an update.

At this point, EVERYTHING has come back negative.

After 5 days of fever (today is day 5) they start to consider inflammatory diseases. At that point, they would involve Dr. Dyke because of the concerns with the heart.

Mason has had diarrhea so they are going to test his stool (ewww, I feel sorry for that lab tech).

They also noticed a red right ear (ear infection) so they are starting him on an antibiotic for 2 times daily for the next 10 days. Since he already has diarrhea and antibiotics CAUSE diarrhea, they are also going to put him on a probiotic. Probiotics counteract the diarrhea. It is unlikely that the ear infection was there the whole time, but rather came about after all this other stuff.

They may book a time on Thursday or Friday for an MRI and hope that we can do it after discharge as an outpatient. An EEG will be done today or tomorrow.

So bring on MORE DRUGS! Ugh.
