Map,

Honey, you and your son are in my prayers.

Here is a link to my story. It may or may not be similar; I don't have enough details about your son to know. It's post #19

I was in the hospital for two weeks and ran a fever for a good portion of that time.

I will PM you my contact info. Please feel free to contact me anytime with any questions.

((((Hugs))))

Elaine,

My son is not septic it's not in his blood, but I am very afraid that the infection may have spread to somewhere else, because in between his high fever, he was sort of yellow,yet his doctor said we were wrong.

Thanks again for caring, xxxxxx

ooooo

Hi,

I just wanted to stop by and let you know that I am thinking of you. I am in Sydney Australia and probably can't help this far away, but wanted to let you know that you are in my prayers.
