It's Monday morning and this is Ed. Yesterday was the same pattern: Andre's temperature was fine in the daytime but went up again to about 102. We've finally asked for something stronger than Tylenol to take care of his pain. Hopefully, they'll accede.
For today, he'll get 2 units of blood and a chest X-ray. His cultures are still negative so they still don't know the culprit. They told us that for most of these cases, they really only manage to get cultures from 20 percent of them. Most of the time, they just empirically determine which antibiotic to use and hope it works.

Thinking of you both. It amazes me the strength that you both have and I thank you for letting us into your lives.
Now, Andre, knowing that you would much rather talk about something other than your health, Chad and I were thinking of you when we were in Lake Chelan recently. There was a bike rally going on, mostly the harley type but saw a couple of fast rides that you would have appreciated. :)
Big hugs
Charity
