In a Different Hospital
Jacob was admitted to Santa Clara Valley Medical Center Monday, 3.28.05 around 6:00 pm. Yesterday morning Jacob was still having abdominal pain, and an elevated temperature. Dr Kuo thought it would be a good idea for Jacob to come into Clinic E at LPCH.
Jacob's temperture was elevated twice (over ~100 degrees), and he is neutropenic (low white blood cell and neutraphil counts), so that meant he needed to be admitted to the hospital. Since there were no beds at LPCH he and Ann got a free (not really) ambulance ride to Santa Clara. We are waiting for a blood culture to come back negative (no infection) to take him home.
He is still having abdominal pain, and is not very happy about it. When he is given pain medication he goes to sleep. Ann summed it up when she told Alex that when Jacob was not in pain, everything was ok with her.
