Tuesday update

It was definitely good to have a diagnosis yesterday.  However, his doctor told me yesterday that he wants him off the fever-reducing medicine ASAP.  Told me no more than a dose on Monday night and then the last on Tuesday morning.  We held off last night until 8:30 when his fever was up to 103.1.  Gave him the "last" dose of Tylenol this morning at 6:00 to combat another round of chills and increasing temperature.  Please pray with me that he doesn't need more at the end of this 6- to 8-hour period.  (Advil is not recommended for use in patients with Dengue.)  This fever needs to break today and break permanently--the doctor said his liver is beginning to show signs of inflammation (hepatitis.)
