Carrie called and she and Chris are with Heath in the Duke emergency room. Carrie had told me this afternoon that Heath was very fussy and her "mommy radar" was up. This evening she took his temperature and it was 101 F. When the arrived at Duke, they took Heath right back because he is of course immuno-suppressed. The doctor discovered a temp. of 102 F so they are probably going to admit him to the hospital for what the doctors say a "two-day" rule out. If blood cultures don't grow any "bugs" in two days then he is clear but if they do, then he will have to be treated.
Carrie seemed concerned but very calm. Their doctor told them that this is not an uncommon occurance. Heath likely has an infection of some kind, they simply won't know until they get some lab reports back.
Carrie asked that folks continue to pray as Heath faces his next challenge. I will keep the blog updated as I receive new information. For now, we must have patience in waiting for Heath as he continues the hard work of healing....
Blessings,
