Tuesday June 16th, 2009: Got the Fever, more cowbell?

Who knows SNL? I am a huge fan of the cowbell skit...sorry...ICU nurses often use humor to deal with stress...

Will is not in a good place. Temp has been up to almost 104, to make a long story short, it is possible he is septic (total body infection). There are cultures of his blood pending to see if he is. His urine grew out E.Coli (really bad bacteria that is found in fecal matter). Emotionally, it was very hard to talk to him this evening, because he was crying the entire time, and really feeling down (both physically and emotionally). We knew there would be hardship along the way, and this is it. I feel like we are back in the ICU- it sucks. Please send him strong thoughts...

    Hi Will - This is Kristen Farrar, Mike Hodges Mom - you are in our hearts and prayers - and know that Mike is out of communication due to being out in California - but he'll be back on the east coast soon, and you'll hear from him then. In the meantime, stay stong - sounds like you are in very capable hands.

    Hey Will! I am sorry to hear that you aren't feeling well. But I KNOW you can get through this. After the last month or so, I would say you and your family are the strongest people I know! Hang in there and get better soon!
