Back to Rochester

This week has another wrinkle for us as Sawyer began feeling the chills and running a low grade temperature this evening. He felt better after a shower but his temperature remained consistently above 101 degrees. This was cause for concern due to the explicit instructions to call the hospital if his temperature went over 100.5. After several readings at 101.4 and above, we called the on-call physician who didn't seem too concerned since Sawyer's most recent blood test indicated that his ANC - or immunity - was in the normal range. We were instructed to keep an eye on him and call if he complained about flu like symptoms. While getting ready for bed, the chills and shivers returned. Not wanting to make a midnight run with a winter storm approaching, Laurie decided to take Sawyer to Rochester. They will see how he is feeling and follow up with the on-call physician if needed. We will feel considerably more comfortable knowing that Sawyer will only be a few miles away from Strong if he needs to be admitted. Updates to follow.
