Today temp is 99.1 ... Temps of 99 do not always mean something terrible, I did tell him to skip Tylenol -or any OTC pain meds.. as low grade temps is your body fighting infection... His blood pressure is still running to high but he isnt getting enough O2 so he is struggling to breath increase heart rate... so its typical to run higher...

Im going to watch him closely if need be I will take him for a chest xray, he "might" have Pneumonia, again altho that was 5 years ago roughly and there was no doubt he was so sick, high temps and could barely stand up ... Im sure our Doctor will want chest xray and sputum sample to see what is actually growing so the right meds can be started, Maybe Doxicilian isnt enought altho he needs a month of that since he had the tick bite....

I also had him take a HCTZ today, its a mile water pill/ blood pressure med. But might help lose a bit of excess fluid, that might help

So yeah this my life right now... Keeping him alive and out of the hospital is a must !
My heart goes out to you. It must be so anxiety producing and stressful. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I hope everything turns out ok.
