Brody had surgery today to place internal stent from kidney to bladder. Surgery went ok. Brody is not in a lot of pain from it. I think his eyes got dry during the procedure though. He is complaining that his eyes burn.
Just as we were leaving the hospital our oncologist had the nurse draw blood cultures and urine cultures. Brody's white counts were high in labs they drew this morning before surgery so they decided to draw cultures. Then not long after that Brody felt warm (feverish). The nurse checked his temperature again and it was 100.7 degrees. So I am worried now he has an infection. We were told to go ahead and take Brody home and keep an eye on his temperature. If it goes over 38.5 degrees celcius (101.3 F) we will need to bring him back to the hospital. Brody was wrapped up nice and tight in a very warm blanket not too long before he had his temperature taken at 100.7 degrees. Let's hope it was just the warm blanket.
