Today we found out that the stool came back negative for C diff. C diff is a bacterial infection from antibiotics. Everything is pointing to this and the dr said maybe his stools were diluted so that could result in a negative culture. It was much better today and by this afternoon, he was eating again. No fever at all today and he was up and showered. It is just amazing how fast he goes down. The dr today said she is pretty sure we can leave on Saturday and be able to go to the hockey game. I hope the snow is not an issue. He will go home on antibiotics. C diff is caused by antibiotics and you still need antibiotics to treat it. The flora which is the normal bacteria in your intestines gets destroyed from antibiotics. There are other ways to catch it too but this is a result of the treatment he got last week for the virus.
We should hear tomorrow or Monday a formal result of the bone marrow aspirate too.
We are hoping for a quiet night of sleep tonight and a good day tomorrow...stay warm my dear friends...
LATE BREAKING NEWS!! I JUST SPOKE WITH THE DOCTOR AND CODY'S FIRST MARROW CAME BACK PERFECT! WHAT A RELIEF! THE STOOL CULTURES ARE NEGATIVE TOO BUT TREATING IT AS SUCH! THANK GOD!
