A couple of hours ago Cutler started running a fever of 101 and just recently vomited quite a bit. The fever is now up to 102 and he is being treated with antibiotics. The nurses believe the vomiting is just due to the fever and are not concerned right now and have given him some anti nausea medicine. Tests have been run to determine the type of infection and help determine how long he will need to be on antibiotics. The doctor assured us a few days ago that it would be very surprising if he didn’t start running a fever, so this hasn’t caught us by surprise however we were hoping that he would continue to be the exception to the rule so it is a bit disheartening. Regardless, he is in the hospital where he needs to be and is under good care and monitoring.
On a positive note, Mason did get to hold his brother today and give him lots of hugs. He really does love and miss his baby brother and Cutler continues to react as if a rock star just entered the room when Mason kicks open the door and shouts “CUTLER!”. Pictures to be provided tomorrow.
