Michael’s blood pressure is nice and strong, the rest of his vitals look great, and he’s much better hydrated now. Unfortunately, the problem was not a bladder infection so now they’re taking him for an abdominal CT since they’ve ruled out everything else from sepsis to a problem with the incision. We won’t have results until this afternoon so it’s going to be a long few hours.
It’s important to note that none of his doctors are alarmed and he doesn’t have a fever or anything else to indicate a raging infection has taken hold. It’s only because one of his lab values has been creeping up that they even thought to poke around. If they had urgent concerns they would start pre-emptive antibiotics while they investigated.
I’ll be back this evening to let you know what all we learned today. ❤️

Hope they find the answer and can fix it soon. Know he must be upset as well as you. Glad you are still there to be monitored.
