So we got back home from Stanford at about 10 am today after about 12 hours in the ER. Beckett was dehydrated and got more fluids and more blood tests. All of his blood counts look OK, except for the dehydration, which was fixed with lots of IV fluids and electrolytes. After a day of all three of us lying on the couch and in bed, Beckett is feeling much better. He has been walking around a bit and even ate some dinner, so hopefully he is on the mend.
We will get blood culture results back in a few days, but it looks like the problem is more likely his stomach than an infection from his port site. We will also test his stool again for giardia since it's possible that he got reinfected. But for right now, Beckett is doing pretty well.
