Mixed news and a conversation with Lucas in Chinese

Good news is 2nd and 3rd blood cultures continue to be negative.  And the sensitivity test nailed down an ABX (short for antibiotics) so we stopped Zosyn and Vancomysin.   The huge syringes are replaced by this small syringe of Cefazolin.

The not so good news is Lucas's fever was 103.4 at 4am, then subdued with Tylenol and was fever free for almost 5 hours.  Then 102.6 again at 12 noon.  It's a real agony to be in the middle of lingering fever when your kid has ANC = 0.  But this shall pass and we will be home soon!

His GI tract is not at the optimal condition yet either.  He has no appetite and we are not too encouraging him to eat, to be easy on his system.

Lucas was fever-free last night for a while and enjoyed his Transformer Animated Series.  He said he liked Bulkhead best because Bulkhead is very powerful.
