Kaleb Update Day #6...START PRAYING

Kaleb is battling tummy issues today. We don't know if it is a tummy virus or just drainage and meds but I am leaning towards a virus. It is going around like crazy so it wouldn't surprise me. He won't eat and is just laying there very pale. They gave him some Phenergan to ease the nausea and retching. He cannot physically throw up because he had a fundoplication surgery when he was little and his g-tube was placed. This causes "retching" which is like throwing up but nothing will come up. It is violent and painful and if he does it too much it can undo the fundo and cause internal issues. He is resting now.

***Kaleb just spiked a fever and it is high enough (102) that they are going to start running blood and urine cultures to make sure we aren't dealing with any kind of blood or other type of infection. They said usually these tummy things don't spike high fevers. We will see. The nurse said they will run urine, blood cultures off his port and peripheral to test his blood for infections, then do a nose and throat swab for strep, flu, and other things respiratory related.

He is so out of it and bummed because his basketball team was supposed to visit tonight. I hope they can come over tomorrow or Wednesday, he was REALLY looking forward to it.
Please continue to encourage us through fb, txts, emails, and comments. We love to hear from you and especially now that we can't have visitors for right now.

Also, I am looking for 4 more donations today to our TEAM KALEB Great Strides. We have been here 6 days and have 2 donations. I would like at least one for each day. ANY AMOUNT! Let me know if you do so I can keep track. Click on this link to donate online securely!
