My brother had his surgery today for placement of the PEG tube and the Port. Surgery went well and after a long period in recovery he was sent home with pain meds.
A few hours later he developed a fever of 102.4 and his wife placed a call to the Gastro doctor who said to take him to ER. Spent the next 3 hours in ER waiting for results of blood work and chest X-Ray. I left at around 9:00 pm and still no results. He was admitted to the 5th floor which is the surgery floor of the hospital.
The next morning he was informed that all of his tests were normal and that he would be getting IV antibiotics and a 2 night stay. He was discharged with "fever of unknown origin" and sent home with no antibiotics.
