Update 40

Well it looks like there is no CT scan in our immediate future. Thaddeus' numbers from Friday to Saturday were pretty static, but his numbers from Saturday to Sunday took a very positive turn. He also has not had a fever for several days. In addition he has been in a pretty good mood for the past several days. The plan for now is to keep an eye on him. They will give him the rest of his antibiotics up through today. The last dose is this evening. After the last dose is given, they will keep an eye on him. If he is still infected he should spike a fever in 12-24 hours. If that is the case, then we are looking at a few weeks of antibiotics and possibly a surgical exploration. If he doesn't spike a fever, we are  . . . wait for it . . .looking at going home. So, good news today, but nothing definite.
