Journal entry by Tamara Houle —
Michael is improving a lot . His temperature has been normal all day and his color has returned as well. He still has 2 IV’s going with fluids and 2 different antibiotics but whatever their giving him is most certainly helping. Infectious disease doctor saw him today and reassured him they will figure out why he has so many large lymph nodes in his neck. He said they will continue with broad spectrum antibiotics until cultures confirm what bacteria their dealing with. He also said that he does not understand as of yet how a normal healthy 20 year old could be so sick and developed a abscess , Cellulitis , and Sepsis so quickly. We feel relieved that we are seeing improvement and feeling hopeful again.
Michael is so anxious to go home. We’re hopeful that some cultures will be back tomorrow and we can continue to add pieces to this enormous puzzle.
Thank you for all your prayers, they are WORKING
