I started developing a fever on Sunday evening but it was an intermittent fever and transient and the fever was gone in about an hour but I stayed in the hospital on Monday more because of the bile drainage.
On Tuesday early morning at about 3:00am, I developed a chill that lasted for about an hour. The fever wasn't high at about 37.4ºC but I was shivering and having tremor liked I had high fever and because of this, I was advised and opted to stay one more day for observation and just as well because at about 4:00pm this afternoon, I really developed a fever at 38.4ºC. Took Panadol for the fever and blood was taken for bacteria culture test and an IV line was set for antibiotic infusion. Broad spectrum antibiotic was administered for now as a prophylactic until the culture result is out and if there is an infection and if the bacteria are sensitive to specific antibiotic(s) then that antibiotic will be used instead of the broad spectrum one. The culture result will take at least 2 to 3 days which is also the minimal number of additional days that I’ll have to stay in the hospital.
Pray that there is no infection and that the fever is due to the bile drainage into my abdominal cavity. Also pray that the catheter/tube opening left behind after the catheter was removed will close up and that bile will stop oozing.
I still I have to admit that God is good to me and that the complications are minor not requiring any major interventions.
