Tuesday-we ventured into Sloan this morning for a routine day. We were going to start the new med but lo and behold, when they took Cody's vitals, he had a high fever. He complained of intermittent pain when he urinated since the last visit here. We were told he could wait until today to get it checked as long as there was no temp or increased pain. So it happened today. So antibiotics were started immediately and fluids administered to prevent any pressures drops and in a few hours he had no fever. We are staying for a night or two to make sure this is not a line infection and to get some higher dose antibiotics. Not happy but like I have said to everyone here, he is probably the healthiest patient here.

Tonight the rescue of the miners that have been trapped for 69 days. Let's hope it is successful. Incredible.

Good night all....
