Okay ... almost positive the fever is from an infection. The doctors do not get too concerned until the fever hits 101 ... which it has now done. Good news = all blood cultures are negative. The infection is most likely in his lungs (based on a culture drawn yesterday ... it's still a bit early to be certain). It is a different form of bacteria than he's had ... something to do with negative rods and positive rods. Chuck is starting a new antibiotic to battle the negative rods discovered (no idea what that means). Please pray for him to kick this infection quickly. He is not feeling well at all.
