Setback for Raymond - He needs your good thoughts!

The Drs called this morning to say that Raymond's red and white blood cell count dropped precipitously and that they thought it was either a bleed or infection. So they started him on broad spectrum antibiotics (vancomycin et al). They didn't think it was a bleed because they just did a head ultrasound.



Here he is. He is peaceful now but definitely pale.

I just got another update that they see some blood in his lungs and possibly his belly also so they are going to give him some plasma to help his clotting. They've also put him on a funky new oscillator ventilator that helps him breathe better since he has fluid in his lungs.

Not sure of the cause or the impact yet. It looks like the transfusion is helping but the real results are pending an ultrasound and culture. Drs are thinking underlying cause is still infection. They reconfirmed it isn't a head bleed with another ultrasound.
