Not really. They're leaning toward bone infection over blood (I really don't know why). Still in the hospital. Kid is in better spirits and played two games of bingo today.
Have they done a spinal tap? I am telling my mom (an ER nurse) the story and they had a patient with something similar yesterday. Nothing would break the fever, his white blood cells were up, etc. They did a spinal tap and it helped them figure out diagnosis and treatment.
Your poor friend. I am sending lots of thoughts and prayers their way.
I'm so sorry. I think it's great that she's telling you what she needs. Having a kid in the hospital was one of the most lonely feelings. And I can totally relate to being affected by other kids. Hugs to you and your friend.
