saw Dr. on call

Just saw the Dr. and she said right now they don't know what is going on with him.  He hasn't had any more high fevers but he is continuing to have severe headaches, numbness on half of his lips, and today his left arm has become very painful.

The results from the PET scan are not back yet, since he had it on late Friday.  The Dr. said that the PET scan includes a CT of the head and that if anything abnormal appeared on it during the test they would need to report it, and nothing was reported.

He is still very fatigued.

He has mouth sores and no appetite.

Ordering a CT now is not necessary, it would be having something done just for the sake of doing something.  Nothing we can do but wait.

The Dr. on call is going to talk to Dr. thomas and see if the other tests ordered for him (bone marrow biopsy and brain MRI) that are scheduled for Thursday can be expedited.

So for now they are going to continue to treat him for the fever he came in for and give him antibiotics.  Unless something changes (tests results show something new or he has new symptoms/problems) they will continue giving him antibiotics and pain medication.  His blood has been taken for cultures to check for infection, so far they are negative.
