Frustration

We are a little frustrated today. Kristoffer has had a low grade fever ever since surgery. Last night it spiked up to 103.6. The Doctor finally ordered labs. He has not had labs drawn ever since surgery. Kristoffer's white blood cells have increased which is a sign of an infection. They did a chest x-ray and ruled out pneumonia. Kristoffer also looks like he needs a blood transfusion but Doctor wait and see wants to "wait and see" if he comes up on his own. He also wants to "wait and see if the fever goes away on its own. If not they are going to do a CT scan of his abdomen tomorrow and see if he has an infection in there. I just can't believe they would let a child with cancer run a fever for 6 days. It just kills me! We tried to get the oncologist involved but they said they can't overrule the surgeon. We feel a little helpless and frustrated at the lack of caring. Kristoffer is doing a little better as far as his pain goes. We have gone to the toy room the past two days.
