Hopefully this is the last bump in the road

Despite our best efforts at keeping Steve out of the hospital, the blood cultures that were drawn yesterday showed bacteria in his blood. This is a serious situation for anyone, never mind Steve with no neutrophils, so he had to be admitted to the hospital this afternoon.
He still feels very sick and is running a fever.  They were able to identify the type of bacteria that's growing, and have now changed his antibiotics to target the specific bacteria, as well as giving him another antibiotic to kill any other bacteria that has yet to be revealed.

This is a low point but hopefully things will turn around soon. As if he hasn't been through enough!
