Brody's temperature today peaked at 40.4. He is still very tired, not eating or drinking much, he has a very sore tummy and leg. He has not moved his leg all day, a Doc come and had a look but of course will talk with the team and then maybe do something about it tomorrow.
He is not happy at all and wants to go back home to Nabaic. He has not moved of the bed or off his back all day and he has slept most of the time. Still have no results for his chest, but several different teams have come in and put their opinion in the pot. They believe its some sort of lung infection, but still wont know yet. I am getting very worried that after 8 days they still dont know what is causing this and worried about his leg. Hoping its not a blood clot. (cross my fingers).
It has been a horrible day in the jail house as the nurse on duty only saw us a few times and other nurses had to do her job, and other times we were left sitting with the machine buzzing in brody's ear for over half an hour. I cant wait for the change of guards, as some other nurses are just so wonderful and caring. Not a good senory issue for Brody when he is telling me to turn it off.
A bit of Good news today, as Brody's teacher from Great lakes and Manning Early intervention, rang me and told me that her brother and the NECA- National Contractors & Communication Association had a committe meeting and have donated $2000 to Brody's fund. So a big thank you to the local Forster, NSW, REXELL, HAYMANS & CETNAJ and NECA.
This will take off some of the pressures i am facing, as without a job, a single parent cant afford to pay all her bills and be with her child full time. So thanks again and to everyone that has helped us.
