Doing better today!As stated before, Adam did well throughout the weekend. Well, on Monday afternoon he started running a fever........ around 100 degrees to start. He also seemed to be in a little pain. By 5:00, it was up to 102 degrees. We have an agreement with the hospital that Adam will go to the hospital anytime he has a fever of 101+, due to the risk of infection in his Broviac line. Of course, I was freaking out at this point since he had just had surgery. I called the hospital and paged the surgeon on call to let them know what was going on and waited. NanNan Barbara took Cody to his ball game, Matt came home from work. We finally got a call back from the hospital around 7:00. The doctor on call (didn't know him) said that it was very rare to get an infection in a line less than 48 hours after surgery, so he suggested that we give Adam some Tylenol and monitor his temperature. By Tuesday morning, his temperature was back down to 99.3 and he seemed to feel a lot better. And, he has been fine ever since.
