Rinse, lather, repeat. The fever has not returned from Saturday, but due to what doctor and I believe was a contaminated blood sample of Bo's from Saturday, they insisted on another blood culture today. And since I am working and Jose is sick, we really needed help to get him to the doctor's and the hospital. Thank god for Jose's family. His mom came this morning to pinch hit for us and it has made all the difference. This is what family is for: to shower us with their grace and presence, to alleviate the fear and anger, and to make us feel as if all these impossible things we are so in need of are a pleasure for them to give.
And, hopefully, next time one of us gets sick, we'll have our respite care in place, especially since it was dumb luck that his mom had the time off.
PS all the labwork from today looked good, as I had guessed.
