Malcolm's procedure went well yesterday. He was not too upset about not eating or drinking all morning so that was nice. He napped for about an hour after the sedation. He also got his flu shot before he left (apparently he should've gotten it earlier this fall but was overlooked). He did not cry for that at all though gave the nurse a very reproachful look!
Malcolm slept poorly last night and seemed quite under the weather this morning. By 12:30 his temperature was up to 38.2 and I checked it around 1:30 and 2:30 and it was about the same. I called the clinic to see if they wanted us to come in for bloodwork to determine whether his ANC is still above 500, but the doctor apparently feels that the fever is likely due to the flu shot. So we were told too give him Tylenol (if we wanted to) and take him to emerg if the fever gets significantly worse or he otherwise seems unwell. The Tylenol seemed to perk him up and the fever seems to be subsiding so we are hopeful he will have a better night tonight.
