My New Years ...... The unfolding drama

Saturday 29th December 2007
Cody woke up and mentioned that he didn't feel so good. He had a head ache and he was starting to get a temp. Later that morning his temp started to climb, his head ache got worse and his legs started to ache. He went to the A & E and they took bloods to check if he had an infection. As his mother tried to point out to them.......last time the infection took a while to culture and that she wanted to stay. But due to the bloods coming back clear, the hospital sent Cody home. His mum kept a very close eye on him and was not at all surprised when she received a phone call at 1am Sunday morning saying that his bloods had come back and there was a bug in his hicman line and in his blood. So Cody was bundled up to the A & E were he and his mum had to wait for 2 hours until they were finally admitted to the ward. That night Cody's temp spiked at 40 deg and he was vomiting badly. Lucky for Cody he is a fighter and by 10am Sunday the Antibiotics were starting to work and Cody started feeling much better. Even so Cody settled in expecting to be in hospital for a couple of days at least.

Due to a nasty strain of Nova Virus in the wards it was decided it would be safer for Cody to be at home, so later on Monday Cody was released.

Infection is Cody's worst enemy at present. Next hurdle for Cody is an operation on Jan 10th (if it still goes ahead after this) Will fill you in on the next post.
