This last week has been really hard on Jackson. Wednesday night we were told Jackson labs tested positive for a bacterial infection in his blood.
On Sunday Jackson had still be running really high fevers 104.8 the Doctors told us that they wanted to do a CT scan of Jackson’s Chest to see if he had a fungal Infection.
They returned on Sunday Evening and said that the scans showed an infection and they were pretty sure it was a fungal infection. Sunday night they changed up all of his meds and antibotics and put him on super strong Antibotics.
Monday we saw a whole host of Doctors from the Infectious disease team. They decided they needed to get a sample of the infection from Jacksons Lungs to be able to identify the type of fungus it is so they can better treat it.
Monday night Jacksons Oxygen drooped requiring him to be placed on Oxygen.
First thing this morning he went in for his procedure and has required oxygen ever since. He is just plain miserable. I don’t know how else to describe it. He is still in lots of pain requiring a continuous morphine drip and still running high fevers as his body is trying to fight these infections.
So now we wait for those results to come back in a day or two to know what is next.
In the mean time we are still waiting for his ANC to rise so he can start fighting some of this infection on his own.
It’s a scary feeling knowing your child has two different infections and his body isn’t physically able to fight them off. This is definitely and eye opener on what a high risk it is for him to get any kind of illness. The doctors stated he could have breathed in this fungus anywhere and he just has no immunity to fight anything off.
Of course Jackson still insists (when he is awake) that he is Fine through his tears and pain he reassures his momma that he is fine. He is a little super heroš§”
As Always thank you for the Love and prayers.
