Fred has still been running a low-grade fever and developed a cough. He talked to Marcia (Dr. Solberg's nurse) and she told us to go to the local doctor and have blood work done and see the doctor here.
Fred is now an additional antibiotic and medication for the cough. So between the two antibiotics hopefully he will knock the infection out of his system.
His blood work wasn't too bad. His white blood cell count is up, but that is due to the infection. Here are his results:
white blood cell count: 8.8 (normal range, but due to infection)
red blood cell count: 3.62 (low)
hemoglobin: 12.6 (low)
platelets: 133,000 (low)
Hopefully this will get out of his system soon and we can start getting him out of the house. I am going to the doctor to get something tomorrow so I don't catch something (got to kill the germs).
