So here is what we know according to Dr. Seery (the cardiologist that has been following Ben since he came out of ICU.
They still can’t explain his fevers. We will get the first blood cultures back tonight and we will see what that says. In the meantime they are going to work on getting his blood pressure under control (since we’re here, the doctor says). They are going to continue watching Ben for the next 4 or 5 days and see what happens. If he continues to run a fever after that, they may send him home running a fever. It could just be a summer virus. He said that anecdotally they have had a few heart patients who had homographs who ran unexplainable fevers. But that it turned out ok. I asked how long they ran fevers and it was a while he said. So I don’t know where this is heading, but unless the cultures come back with an answer we are going to be here for a while.
