He has a rod shaped bacteria in his blood that is aggressive so they are treating him with IV antibiotics and trying to figure out exactly what kind of bacteria he has. It takes time to test him and diagnose him properly. Once they figure out what he has they can better pinpoint how to proceed and treat him. He will be in anywhere from one to three days one doctor told us. But we are not sure about any of this yet.
I will be at the hospital with him and update the blog as I find out more information.
Mike was so sad to go back in but they are treating him really well and we hope he will be out soon.
Because he is on immune suppression drugs it is important that they treat him in the hospital. His new kidney is holding up real well and has not shown signs of negative effect.
Wish him well. Thanks and I will send more info soon.
